NOTE
l
In a new built equipment room, Category 6A shielded twisted pairs or Category 7 twisted pairs are
recommended. These cables can avoid alien crosstalk while having no special installation requirements.
In addition, they can be used with other types of cables.
l
If Category 6 shielded or unshielded twisted pairs are used in an equipment room and the cabling
systems can meet requirements of TSB-155, follow these rules route these cables:
l
Separate these cables with other types of cables. If they must be routed in the same cable trough
with other types of cables, separated them from other cables using a metal plate.
l
Separate cables as much as possible at the outlet and keep the cables parallel with each other. Most
alien crosstalk appears within 20 m away from the outlet. To reduce alien crosstalk, do not bundle
cables in the first 5 m to 20 m.
l
If cables need to be bundled, bundle cables with cable ties placed every 150 mm to 300 mm. See
. Bundle cables loosely, as shown in
.
l
You are advised to add no more than 12 cables in a bundle. A bundle cannot have more than 24
cables.
l
Replace Category 6 connectors with Category 6A connectors.
