Use of Cabling Standards

Many documents relating to cable plant design focus on industry standards for both communications systems and cable plants. US standards come from the TIA or Telcordia while worldwide standards may come from ISO/IEC or ITU.

It is important to realize why and by whom these standards are written. These standards are written by manufacturers of products to ensure that various manufacturers’ products work together properly. Whenever users specify standards for any project, it is important that the contractor/installer understand what standards are being referenced and ensure that such standards are relevant to the job being done.
