Initiatives Loss Budget Task Group (TR-42.11)

Encircled Flux Round Robin (TR-42.11) TSB is being worked on

Bend insensitive multimode fiber

Being worked in TR-42.11 and TR-42.12

Attempting to ensure encircled flux compliance

Task Group is pursuing the next edition of premises

standards in TR-42 (e.g., 568-D Series)

Next generation balanced twisted-pair cabling Task Groupshave identified objectives (August meeting to be held)

Developed Editor's draft 0.2 of PN-568-C.2-1 (to be

published as ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1, "Specifications for 100

Next Generation Cabling) to work with 40GBASE-T

Initiatives

Educational Facilities

Distributed Antenna Systems cabling being reviewed Places of Assembly (e.g., stadiums, airports)

Task Group established beginning investigations

Ensuring security of cabling (physical) Task Group draft established

Includes Electronics, cabling, physical damage, terrorism,

industrial sabotage, data security for wired and wireless

New Subcommittee initiated for STEP (TR-42.10); firstmeeting in Philadelphia at the TR-42 October meetings

Announcements made by TIA

Initiatives

Telecommunications Cabling Guidelines for Wireless

Access Points Begun revision of 2006 TSB to include cabling and spacing

of current and future wireless access points (e.g., 802.11ac)

Energy Management Systems

Addendum to TIA-862-A has been initiated.


7/26

Initiatives

Began working with BICSI Standards to coordinate efforts

on standards development TIA developing requirements

BICSI developing best practices


8/26

8

Issues being worked on by TIA

Document management (processing)

What documents are due for committee action? Hundreds of documents are the responsibility of TR-42 and its Subcommittees

System is needed to alert Subcommittees or Engineering Committee of pending

action (notification after 3-year mark and 5-year mark)

What is the status of a publication? Is the document in TIA? ANSI? Projected publication date?

Voting member status

Expand to have primary and alternate Allow as a choice of each company Useful for operational efficiency of member company


9/26

9

Issues being worked on by TIA

Document searches (numbering) Difficult to search

Need specifics to search (TIA-, TIA/EIA-, EIA/TIA-, EIA-)

Some documents have additional punctuation (TIA/EIA-492.AAAC)

Better (more forgiving) search engine may be needed


10/26
