Lesson 27

This lesson discusses the importance of following networking standards. It outlines specifications from standards organizations like IEEE, UL, and EIA/TIA. Specifically, it examines EIA/TIA 568B standards for horizontal cabling, including distance requirements for work areas, horizontal cable, patch cords, and jumpers. EIA/TIA 568B addresses elements of cabling infrastructure like horizontal cabling, telecom closets, backbone cabling, and work areas, and provides cabling performance specifications and requirements for cable types, outlets, and maximum distances.

Network I Lesson 27

Student Objectives: After completing this lesson, students will be able to: discuss why it is important to follow standards for networking outline cabling specifications covered by 802.3 and 802.5 identify markings on cable specified by UL explain EIA/TIA standard 586B including: horizontal cabling distance requirements work area, horizontal cable and patch cords/jumpers compare specifications standards for the 4 network media Terms: IEEE - Institute for Electrical & Electronics Engineers - development of communications and network standards predominately LAN standards UL - Underwriters Laboratories - Independent Agency that test product safety EIA* - Electrical Industries Association - specifies electrical transmission standards TIA *- Telecommunications Industry Association - develops standards relating to telecommunications technologies NOTE:* EIA/TIA issue joint standards jumper - patch cords found in wiring closet - electrical switch with certain number of pins that can be attached several ways creating different circuits horizontal cabling - cable that runs from telecommunication outlet to horizontal cross connect - includes cable, telecommunication outlet, or connector and mechanical termination (wiring closet to work station) s Lesson Summary: when designing and installing a network it is essential to follow building and fire codes established performance standards and to ensure compatibility and interoperability early networking standards were proprietary - later governmental and other agencies got involved to regulate and specify cable type Organizations that issue standards: IEEE, UL, EIA/TIA, State, Local, County and Federal governments UL cabling specifies safety issues and rate twisted pair for media performance - established a program listing markings for UTP & STP to ensure compliance with LAN media requirements EIA/TIA had the greatest impact on networking media standards in EIA/TIA 568, 568B and 569 these are the most widely used standards for networking media developed minimum requirements that would support multi-vendor product - with the intent that LANs could be developed without knowledge of specific equipment EIA/TIA 568B addresses 6 elements of cabling - horizontal cabling, telecommunications closets, backbone cabling, equipment rooms, work areas and entrance facilities cabling performance specs 2 cables - 1 for voice - 1 for data - 1 of which must be 4 pair UTP 5 categories - category 1 - category 5 *3-5 okay for LANs STP - 2 pair of 150 Ohm cable UTP - 4 pair of 100 Ohm cable Fiber - 2 fibers of 62.5/125 Ohm multi mode cable 50 Ohm coaxial cable - recognized media but not recommended for new installations and will be removed from the specification 2 telecommunications outlets or connections at each work area with 2 cables 1 - 4 pair 100 Ohm Cat 3 or above UTP with connector

2nd can be the same as 1st or 150 Ohm STP, or coaxial and connector or fiber 62.5/125 optical fiber with connector maximum distance is 90 to 295 meters patch cords or cross connect cannot exceed 6 meters or 20 feet patch cords to connect peripheral equipment to work stations = 3 meters or 9.8 feet total patch cord and cross connect - cannot exceed 10 meters or 33 feet all grounding and bonding must conform to EIA/TIA 607 and all other applicable codes
