Work area
The work area consists of all the components
between the telecommunications outlet and the
user’s desktop workstation equipment. This covers:
• Telecommunications outlets, including
wallplates, faceplates, surface-mount boxes, etc.
• Patch cables.
• Adapters, including connectors, and modular
jacks.
• Workstation equipment, such as PCs, telephones,
printers, etc. although they aren’t included in
the standard.
The work area should be well managed even
though it is designed for frequent changes. There are
a few specific recommendations in TIA/EIA-568-B.1:
• You should install a minimum of two tele-
communications outlets in each work area.
– The first outlet shall be a 100-ohm,
8-position modular jack, CAT3 or higher.
It’s very advisable to use CAT5e or higher.
– The second outlet can be another 100-ohm,
8-position modular jack (minimum CAT5e
or CAT6), or...
– A 2-fiber, 62.5- or 50-micron fiber SC, ST,
or other small-form factor duplex fiber
connector.
• UTP wiring should follow T568A or T568B
schemes. (See right.)
• The 4-pair UTP patch cable from the
telecommunications outlet to the workstation
equipment should be no more than 5 meters
(16.4 ft.).
• Make sure the equipment cords, patch
cables, and modular jacks all have the
same performance rating.
• Follow standard installation practices and
maintain proper pair twists, bend radius, etc.
• Use different pathways for electrical wiring
and structured cabling.
• Estimate pathway capacity at 20–40% fill.
• Run an independent pathway to control centers,
reception areas, and other high-activity spaces.
• An electrical outlet should be installed within
3 feet (9.1 m) and at the same height.
T568A and T568B pinning.
There are two approved pinning methods: T568A
and T568B. The T568A scheme is the one recognized
and used by the U.S. government. The T568A pinning
is also common in Canada and in other parts of the
world.
The T568B pinning is the one used by AT&T
®
and
is the de facto standard in the U.S.
By the way, the T stands for termination, and not
TIA as commonly thought.
Whichever scheme you choose, stick to it. All
pin/pair assignments must conform to one standard
or the other. Mixing the two can cause crossed pairs,
which just doesn’t work. In addition, you must follow
established telecommunications cabling color
schemes.
