•
Premises Telecommunications Cabling Standards
All Optical Fiber Standards
Initiatives
•
TAG meetings being held in conjunction with TR-42
meetings
– US TAG to TC86, SC86A, SC86B and SC86C
• These TAGs are becoming more “correspondence only”
– US TAG to ISO/IEC JTC1 SC25 WG3
• These meetings began this year and are found to be beneficial towards
harmonization

Initiatives
Loss Budget Task Group (TR-42.11)
• Encircled Flux Round Robin (TR-42.11)
•
– TSB is being worked on
– Work may focus on 850nm only
•
Bend insensitive multimode fiber (TR-42.11 and TR-42.12)
– Attempting to ensure encircled flux compliance
•
Pursuing the next edition of premises standards in TR-42
(e.g., 568-D Series)
– Editors working on drafts (TR-42.1, TR-42.7 and TR-42.11)
•
Developed Editor's draft 0.5 of PN-568-C.2-1 (to be
published as ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1, "Specifications for 100Ω
Next Generation Cabling”) to work with 40GBASE-T
– Will be known as category 8

Initiatives
•
Educational Facilities
– Ballot issued by Subcommittee
•
Large facilities (e.g., stadiums, airports)
– Task Group pursuing investigations
•
Ensuring security of cabling (physical)
– Task Group continues on working draft to include electronics,
cabling, physical damage, terrorism, industrial sabotage, data
security for wired and wireless
•
Fabric architecture for data centers
– Document out for default ballot
5
Initiatives
•
•
M2M is being monitored for affects on TR-42
Telecommunications Cabling Guidelines for Wireless
Access Points
– Originally written in 2006; is being revised to include current
and forseen wireless access points (e.g., 802.11ac)
•
Distributed antenna systems (DAS)
– Currently included in educational facilities document
•
Energy Management Systems
– A revision to TIA-862-A is being sought.
•
Addendum to TIA-607-B, Bonding and Grounding
– Use of structural metal
6
Initiatives
•
STEP (Sustainable Technology Environment Program)
– Subcommittee name: “Sustainable information
communications technology”
– Subcommittee Scope: “The TR 42.10 Subcommittee
develops and maintains voluntary standards, guidelines and
recommendations for sustainable information
communications technology”
– Leadership
• Chair: Julie Roy
• Vice-chair: Glenn Sexton
• Secretary: Ray Emplit
– Task Group established to take proposed draft and develop
into a standard (Project request approved)
7
Initiatives
•
Distributed antenna systems (DAS)
– Currently included in educational facilities document
– Task Group for educational facilities transformed into Task
Group for DAS
•
TR-42 helps the building industry and end-users by
allowing cabling to be installed to support a wide-range of
applications (overall lowering complexities)
– Usually need service provider “approval”
– Varying designs
– Request help from TSSC to obtain interested parties
