Standards and Codes

Our design and recommendations, are based upon the following industry standards and organizations:

TIA/EIA-568-B.1 and Addendum 1-6: Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard – Part 1. This standard specifies a generic telecommunications cabling system for commercial buildings that will support a multi-product, multi-vendor environment

TIA/EIA-568-B.2 and Addendums 1-6, 11: Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard - Part 2. This standard specifies cabling components, transmission, system models, and the measurement procedures needed for verification of balanced twisted pair cabling category 5E and 6.

TIA/EIA-568-B.3 and Addendum 1: Optical Fiber Cabling Components.  This standard specifies the component and transmission requirements for an optical fiber cabling system. The addendum specifies additional component and transmission requirements for a 50/125 um optical fiber cable capable of supporting 10 Gb/s serial transmission up to 300 m (984 ft) using 850 nm nominal wavelength lasers.

TIA/EIA-569-B : Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces. This standard encompasses telecommunications considerations both within and between buildings. The aspects covered are the pathways into which telecommunications media are placed and the rooms and areas associated with the building used to terminate media and install telecommunications equipment.

TIA/EIA-607: Commercial Building Grounding and Bonding Requirements for Telecommunications. This standard supports a multi-vendor, multi-product environment, as well as the grounding practices for various systems that may be installed on customer premises.

TIA/EIA-606-A: Administration Standard for Commercial Telecommunications Infrastructure. This standard provides the user with guidelines and administration procedures for maintaining telecommunications infrastructure.

TIA-942: Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers.  This Standard   specifies the minimum requirements for telecommunications infrastructure of data centers and computer rooms
