Structured Cabling
TIA/EIA-568 outlines structured cabling standards that facilitate the design and implementation of tele-
communications cabling systems for commercial buildings as well as between buildings in campus envi-
ronments. Topics such as cabling requirements, distances, connectors, cable architectures, terminations,
and polarity are defined. The standard is intended to support a range of existing and future applications.
Deploying equipment for speeds above 10Gbps requires different standards than previous implementa-
tions and polarity becomes a much more important aspect of the deployment. The TIA-568-C standards
define various methods for addressing the polarity issues and cabling requirements needed to support a
40Gbps installation. An example is given below. Please refer to the TIA/EIA-568 standard for additional
cabling methods and information.
