The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), through its TR-42.7 Copper Cabling Systems Subcommittee, has launched a new initiative to develop TSB-5073: Guidelines for Supporting Extended Distance over 4-Pair Balanced Twisted-Pair Cabling.
This white paper provides a high-level overview of the technical considerations, use cases, and performance expectations that will shape the development of TSB-5073. As networks evolve to support longer reach applications—particularly in smart buildings, industrial environments, and emerging IoT deployments, these guidelines aim to ensure reliable performance and interoperability beyond traditional cabling distances.
