Document Summary

Tia/eia"s joint 568 commercial building wiring standard. Describes the best way to install networking media to maximize performance and minimize upkeep. Apply no matter what type of media, transmission technology, or networking speeds are involved. Based on hierarchical design and assumes a network based on the start topology. Cable installation tips to prevent physical layer failures: When terminating twisted-pair cabling, don"t leave more than 1 inch of exposed cable before a termination. Do not exceed the cable"s prescribed bend radius (radius of the maximum arc into which you can loop a cable without impairing data transmission) Use a cable tester to verify that each cable segment transmits data reliably. Avoid laying cables across a floor and use corf covers they must be exposed. Use cable management devices such as cable trays, braided sleeving and furniture grommets. Use patch panels to organize and connect lines.
