Product Details
It replaces T529-95, Telecommunications Cabling Systems in Commercial Buildings.
This Standard is an adoption of the identically titled ANSI/TIA/EIA (American National Standards Institute/Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance) Standard 568-B.2-2001 and is the product of the Telecommunications Industry Association TR-42 Technical Committee, which included a number of Canadian members in order to ensure that Canadian perspectives and requirements were addressed.
It is written in SI (metric) units with yard/pound (imperial) units in parentheses.
SCOPE
2.1 Applicability
This Standard specifies minimum requirements for balanced twisted-pair telecommunications cabling components that are used up to and including the telecommunications outlet/connector and between buildings in a campus environment.
This Standard specifies the minimum performance requirements for recognized balanced twisted-pair cabling components as described in ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.1 (i.e. cable, connectors, connecting hardware, patch cords, equipment cords, work area cords, and jumpers) and for the field test equipment used to verify the performance of these components as installed.
