Augmented Category 6 Specifications

TIA-568- B. 2 Addend u m 1 0, Petformance Specifications for 4-Pa ir 100D Augmented Category 6 Cabling

Herbert V. Congdon II, PE

Why Augmented Category 6?

• 10GBASE-T

- a completed appl icatio n stan dard

• 100m

- a defined distance in 568-B.1 networks

• Category 6: can't cover both witho ut mitig atio n (TS B-155)

• Category 6 E: can't cover both witho ut m itigatio n (6 E n ever defined)

• So, an augmented Category 6 specification is needed

Note: my friends call me "Cat 6A"!!

Specifications

• Category 6 (to 250 MHz) - Insertion loss

- NEXT loss

• Pair-to-pair

• Power sum

- ELFEXT and FEXT loss

• Augmented Category 6 (to 500 MHz) - Insertion loss

- NEXT loss and PSNEXT loss

-ACRF, FEXT loss, and PSACRF

- Return loss

- Propagation delay/delay skew

• Pair-to-pair - Balance

• Power sum - DC resistance unbalance (POE)

- Return loss - ANEXT loss and PSANEXT loss

- Propagation delay/delay skew - Average ANEXT loss and PSANEXT loss

- Balance - AFEXT loss and PSAACRF

- Average PSAACRF

- Space or Shield = larger cables

• Installation bend radius larger - 4xOD no longer 1"

- Addendu m 11 (0.354") means 1 .5" bend diameter

- Patch cord bend diameter going to 1 xOD (not 0.25")

Augmented Category 6 Testing

• Testing

- First - testing is not a requireme nt of the Standard • Often, 1 00% testing is required by the cl ie nt

- Seco nd - alie n crosstalk testing takes a lot of time • Measurement sampling proposed

- Third - testing specifications need to be specific and carefully documented

• Selectio n of tested links is critical

• Reme mber: you're testing today for applicatio ns in th e future

Status

• TIA TR-42.7

-Interim meeting in December completed second default ballot comment resolution

- Third default ballot closes February 3, 2008

• May allow release for publication that week during scheduled TR- 42 meetings

• All ow 1-2 months before it's ava ila ble to purc hase

To understand the work in progress we must understand the basics of the J-STD-607-A

ANSI J-STO-607-A

• Specifies the requirements for a uniform teleco m munications grounding and bonding infrastructure

• Specified for com mercial buildings

• Systems for all forms of information: voice, data, video, environmental control, security, audio, etc.

Main Components

Telecommunications Grounding Busbar: the connection point for telecom systems and equipment in each TR or ER

ANSI J-STD-607-A

Specifies design requirements

• The TBBs should be continuous without splices

• The TBBs and GEs must be at least 6 AWG and should be sized up according to distance:

Up to 13 feet 14-20 feet 21-26 feet 27-33 feet 34-41 feet 42-52 feet 53-66 feet

6 AWG OD=stack of 4 dimes 4AWG

3AWG

2 AWG typical Cat 5e »>

1 AWG OD of a pencil

1/0 AWG

2/0 AWG

Over 66 feet 3/0 AWG just fits in a garden hose

• Most runs will require large conductors

ANSI J-STD-607-A Specifies design requirements

• The Bonding Conductor should be at least as big as the TBBs

• The conductors may be insulated or bare

• Water pipes should not be used as part of the bonding pathway (they may include plastic portions)

• Cable shields should not be used as part of the bonding pathway (they do not have sufficient circular mil area) though cable shields must be bonded to a TGB or the TMGB

• GEs are required if a building has multiple TBBs to provide bonding pathways to multiple TRs on each floor

ANSI J-STD-607-8 Why update?

• 607 -A ratified in 2002

• 607 -A standard doesn't define how to ground racks & cabinets

• specifies grounding up to the busbar

• Many manufacturers want to add more detailed information to standard

• Netvvorks more complex

• Netvvorks more sensitive to noise, etc.

• Work, to date, being done by conference call

• As of last week, scope changed back to original focus of commercial buildings

• Plan to reference other standards (i.e. TIA-942 for data centers; TIA-569 for pathways, etc)

• Next TIA meeting (early Feb) will announce launch of committee

• Working group is 42.3.1

• Under 42.3, Pathways & Spaces

• Completion date not specified • Too early in process

Summary

• ANSI J-STD-607-A

• Grounding & bonding system for commercial buildings

• Recommends components and installation practices

• Lacks detailed information for racks & cabinets • ANSI J-STD-607-8

• Early in development process

• Will be recognized as formal committee in Feb 2008

• Add information to ground and bond racks & cabinets

• Scope similar to 607-A

• Add references to other new standards (TIA-942, etc)

TIA/EIA-606-8

606-A (Administration) was reaffirmed in June 2007 Extends it for up to five years, as is.

New Addendum 1 on Administration for Equipment Rooms, Computer Rooms and Data Centers

Ballot comment resolution completed in September February 2008 publication?

Opening 606-A document for review in anticipation of beginning a revision project that will ultimately produce TIAlEIA-606-8

1;While 606-A was reaffirmed~ the current project to produce an addendum to 606-A is due to data centers. The addendum is meant to reconcile 606-A with the TIA 's 942 data center standard~· 606-A did not really consider data centers and 942 did not consider administration. The two concepts will get together in Addendum 1 to 606-A (Eventually will become 606-B)

CHANGES FROM LAST REVISION

Adopts identification scheme specified in TIA-606-A Addendum 1

Creates new identification format for horizontal links, backbone cables and campus backbone cables as well as telecommunications outlets,

equ ip me nt outlets, splices, conso Ii datio n poi nts, and 0 utdoor

telecom m u nic atio ns spaces.

Administration of grounding and bonding systems.

Allows existing TIA-606-A identifier formats to continue to be used where they are already in use.

Test Engineering - Standards Representative Andrew Ciezak ac@panduit.com

(l;I~DUITr TIA Cabling Standards Restructuring

. Why change the current standards structure?

- Create "Generic" standards to

Reduce bulk while reducing overlapping content

.. Use references rather than repeating content which can cause out of sync standards

Move appropriate parts for better flow

Simplify structure to benefit the user

All TR-42 standards will be re-organized when their five year review date arrives, starting with the 568-C series
