The UTP/STP cable can be any length from 10 meters up to 60 meters. (Per TIA/EIA specifications, UTP/STP cable must be at least 10 meters.) For cables longer than 60 meters, system specifications are slightly degraded. When using high quality UTP/STP cable, lengths up to 60 meters can be used without degrading system performance.

Appendix

This appendix is a summary of the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard.

The TIA/EIA 568-A commercial building cabling standard addresses the need for a common criterion covering cabling in commercial buildings. The standard was drafted to ensure support for a wide variety of applications, devices, and vendor products.

The TIA/EIA 568-A standard assures a flexible cabling scheme which permits the planning and installation of communications cable without prior knowledge of the user's needs. This is especially valuable for new building construction and renovation where it is less costly and less disruptive to install a universal cabling system prior to occupancy.

The need for a building cabling standard was recognized in the early 1980s. It resulted from the changes brought on by new technologies. The purpose of the original drafting committee was to provide a non-proprietary cabling system for both new and existing facilities.

– TIA/EIA 568-A Cabling Standard

In 1985, the Computer Communications Industry Association approached the Electronic Industry Association (EIA) in regard to the market's confusion over cabling systems. The EIA and later its offspring, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), addressed this via technical working groups comprised of industry participants. The resulting standard 568 addressed performance and safety issues related to technology and utilized many recognized and proven standards.

The TIA/EIA 568-A standard defines the categories of UTP cabling, the categories of connecting hardware, patch cables, and provides guidelines on cabling practices.

The TIA/EIA 568-A standard describes six sub-systems within a facility telecommunications cabling system summarized below. (This is intended as a summary only and is meant to provide a better comprehension of the standard. The complete TIA/EIA 568-A standard is available for purchase. Call 1-800-854-7179.)

Horizontal Wiring

The horizontal cable is the portion of the cabling system which extends from the work area outlet to the telecommunications closet. The horizontal cabling is a star topology, with a maximum cabling run of 90 meters (295 feet), independent of media type.

Voice Data

4-pair 100 ohm UTP cable 4-pair 100 ohm UTP/STP

2-pair 150 ohm STA

62.5/125 µm fiber optic cable

The horizontal cable amounts to the greatest quantity of individual cables in the building. Although the TIA/EIA 568-A standard helps limit cabling options, consideration should be given to media type in order to support possible future needs. The cable selected should accommodate more than one network planning period.

Backbone Wiring

The backbone cabling provides the interconnection between the telecommunications closets and the equipment rooms and entrance facilities. The backbone cabling is also a star topology with the maximum cable length being media and applications dependent.

The backbone cable is typically second to horizontal cables in terms of amount of cable deployed. The cable selected should accommodate a minimum of one to several network planning periods.

Work Area

The work area interconnects the horizontal cabling at the wall outlet to the desktop devices. The maximum allowable distance for patch cables is three meters (9.8 feet), based on the cable being of the same type as the horizontal cable.

Telecommunications Closet

The telecommunications closet is the area in a building dedicated to telecommunication equipment. The functions which take place in the closet include the interconnection point between horizontal and backbone cabling systems, the interconnection of two or more backbone cabling systems, and/or the interconnection of the entrance facility to the overall telecommunications cabling system.

B-3

Equipment Room

The equipment room is the area in a building where telecommunications equipment is located. Parts of or all of the telecommunications cabling system terminate here.

Entrance Facilities

The entrance facility is where outside telecommunications service enters the building, and interconnects with the building's internal telecommunications systems. In a campus or mul ti-building environment, t he entranc e facilit y may also contain the building's backbone interconnects.

Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable Termination

All UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) shall be terminated according to the TIA/EIA 568-A standard.

– Compliance Information

All LGCell systems comply with Optical Fiber Safety Standard IEC/EM60825-2. The LGCell distributed antenna system is rated as a Class 1 laser hazard system. It has an absolute maximum output power of -11.5 dBm at 1300 nanometers (nm). There are no restriction on the location or use of an LGCell system. No special precautions are required if standard work practices are followed. Additional information on the safe use of optical fiber communications systems is at the end of this appendix.

The following provides LGC Wireless’ LGCell system approval status for various countries around the world. Some European countries require National Type Approval to their national standards (such as Germany).
