Standards

What are Standards? • Standards represent the minimum required to maintain

compliance.

• Principally about achieving minimum performance from products / standards driven by applications – not end users.

• Standards are considered to be living documents.

• It is important that the region specific standards are quoted in the design and implementation.

Regional Standard Bodies

Who are the national or regional standard bodies? • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) produces worldwide standards

generated by country members.

• European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization CENELEC produces European standards generated by EU country members.

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) produces North American standards.

INTERNATIONAL EUROPE USA

ISO/IEC CENELEC ANSI/TIA

Who Else Is Out There?

Standards and guidance is generated to support Design, Implementation, Methods and Products interoperability.

There are many ways of doing the job: Trade Bodies and Standards publication.

ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute).

ITU (International Telecommunications Union).

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc).

Manufacturers recommendations.

Methods Manuals.

Design Guidelines.

• EN 50173-5, Information Technology – Generic Cabling Systems – Part 5: Data centres.

• EN 50173-6, Information Technology – Generic Cabling Systems – Part 6: Distributed building systems.

• TR 50173-99-1, Cabling guidelines in support of 10GBaseT.

• TR 50173-99-2, Information Technology – Implementation of BCT applications using cabling in accordance with EN 50173-4.

• TR 50173-99-3, Information Technology – Generic cabling systems – Part 99-3: Home cabling infrastructures up to 50m in length to support simultaneous and non simultaneous provision of applications.

Highlights from EN 50173-1

Introduces the concept of environmental classification M.I.C.E. (Mechanical, Ingress, Climatic and Chemical, Electromagnetic).

Environmental Class

1 2 3

Mechanical rating M1 M2 M3

Ingress rating I1 I2 I3

Climatic and chemical rating C1 C2 C3

Electromagnetic rating E1 E2 E3

• The requirements of a given classification cover the requirements of a lower classification, i.e. channels designed to operate under environmental conditions defined by M2 shall continue to operate under environmental conditions by M1.

• Specifies Channels for balanced and optical fibre cabling media.

• Specifies the minimum component requirements in support of these cabling elements.

• Provides a list of applications supported by generic cabling systems.

Highlights from EN 50173-1 (cont.)

Classes for balanced cabling: Class A: specified up to 0.1MHz; Class B: specified up to 1MHz; Class C: specified up to 16MHz; Class D: specified up to 100MHz; Class E: specified up to 250MHz; Class EA: specified up to 500MHz; Class F: specified up to 600MHz; Class FA: specified up to 1000MHz; Class I: specified between 1600MHz and 2000MHz (TBD) ; Class II: specified between 1600MHz and 2000MHz (TBD).

Channels of a given Class will support all applications of a lower Class.

Highlights from EN 50173-6

Supports two architectures: Type A: Generic cabling extends from the Service Distributor (SD) to the Service Outlet (SO).

The generic cabling shall be able to support the broadest set of existing and emerging application within the environmental conditions: • Considerations for Cat.6A (Class EA) and Cat.7A (Class FA). • Consideration for PoE applications and remote powered devices.

Type B: Generic cabling extends from an SD to the Service Concentration Point (SCP) provide the opportunity for:

• Application specific cabling to be installed between the SCP and terminal equipment.

• Application specific cabling to be connected at the SCP.

SCP advantages:

• An SCP allows coverage area connections to be easily reconfigured.

• Consolidation Points (CP) for voice and data and SCPs for BAS applications can coexist within the same zone box.

• We need to think only for the number of IP applications/services needed.

CENELEC Installation Standards

CENELEC EN 50310, Application of equipotential bonding and earthing in buildings with information technology equipment.

This European standard specifies minimum requirements for earthing networks and connections (bonds) in buildings in which information technology equipment is intended to be installed to protect that equipment and interconnecting cabling from electrical hazards.

New EN 50600 Data Center Design Standard

CLC TC215 WG3 has started a new project EN 50600 Data Centre facilities and infrastructures: EN 50600 – Part 1: General concepts (Published). EN 50600 – Part 2-1: Building construction. EN 50600 – Part 2-2: Power distribution. EN 50600 – Part 2-3: Environmental control. EN 50600 – Part 2-4: Telecommunications cabling infrastructure. EN 50600 – Part 2-5: Physical security. EN 50600 – Part 2-6: Management and operational information. EN 50600 – Part 3-1: General design principles. EN 50600 – Part 3-2: Measurements methodologies, test methods and report

formats.

This series of European Standards does not address the selection of information technology and network telecommunications equipment, software and associated configuration issues.

ISO/IEC

ISO/IEC 11801 Series

ISO/IEC 11801 3rd Edition series: • ISO/IEC 11801-1, Generic Cabling; • ISO/IEC 11801-2, Enterprise; • ISO/IEC 11801-3, Industrial; • ISO/IEC 11801-4, Homes ; • ISO/IEC 11801-5, Data Centre. • ISO/IEC TR 11801-99-1,

Technical Report for the next generation Twisted-pair cabling, for supporting 40Gb/s applications (in support of the IEEE 802.3bq project for 40GBASE-T, next generation 40G Ethernet over-twisted-pair).

• ISO/IEC 14763-2, 2nd Edition This document is similar to EN 50174-1 and EN 50174-2.

• ISO/IEC 14763-3, 2nd Edition Test method improvements to support component and channel performance for OM4 optical fiber media classes.

ISO/IEC Standards

• Automated Infrastructure Management (AIM) systems Automated cabling administration systems: intelligent patch-panels, management program interface. Two open projects: – ISO/IEC 14763-2 Amd. 1, adds informative text covering

AIM functional guidelines. – ISO/IEC 18598, requirements of AIM elements supporting

cabling systems within buildings.

• ISO/IEC 30129 Telecommunications Bonding Requirements of bonding-to-earth systems supporting cabling within buildings.

Highlights from ISO/IEC 11801-1

Copper Cabling Items Defines the component, Link and Channel performance for balanced twisted pair copper.

Class C up to 16MHz; Class D up to 100MHz; Class E up to 250MHz; Class EA up to 500MHz; Class F up to 600MHz; Class FA up to 1000MHz; Class I between 1600MHz and 2000MHz; Class II between 1600MHz and 2000MHz.

Highlights from ISO/IEC 11801-1 (cont.)

Copper Cabling Items

New IEC definitions of cable construction/design with corresponding IEC definitions for performance.


Copper Testing Issues

If the coupling attenuation of Class EA or FA permanent links or CP links is at least 10dB better than the corresponding channel coupling attenuation requirements, and Class FA permanent links or CP Links are at least 25dB better than the corresponding channel coupling attenuation requirements, then the ANEXT requirements are met by design. Effectively this means that testing and validation for ANEXT is not required on site.


Optical Fibre Cabling Items Optical fibre adapters and connectors should be protected from dust and

other contaminants, specifically while they are in an unmated state. End faces of connectors shall be inspected according to ISO/IEC 14763-3 and

subsequently cleaned when necessary, prior to connection. Maximum mated connector insertion loss: • 100% ≤0.75dB; • 95% ≤0.50dB; • 50% ≤0.35dB. • The TO shall present a duplex LC connector that complies with IEC 61754-

20.
