Avoid User Premises Telecommunications Problems
TIA provides voluntary telecommunications standards for telecommunications cabling infrastructure in user-owned buildings, such as commercial buildings, residential buildings, homes, data centers, industrial buildings, etc. The generic cabling topologies, design, distances and outlet configurations as well as specifics for these locations are addressed. These TIA standards cover requirements for copper and optical fiber cabling components (such as cables, connectors and cable assemblies), installation, and field testing in addition to the administration, pathways and spaces to support the cabling.
Specific topics covered in this collection of more than 260 TIA telecommunications cabling systems standards include such areas as:
- Industrial premises
- Field testing optical fiber
- Wiring
- Residential telecommunications infrastructure
- Temperature shock effects
- Jitter tolerance measurement
- Transmitter output power
