TIA issues New Generic Telecommunications Cabling for Customer Premises Addendum 1: Balanced Single Twisted-Pair Cabling Standard

Arlington, VA (July 29, 2022) – The Telecommunications Industry Association, which develops standards for the information and communications technology industry, has released a new document, ANSI/TIA-568.0-E-1, Generic Telecommunications Cabling for Customer Premises Addendum 1: Balanced Single Twisted-Pair Cabling Standard.

The ANSI/TIA-568.0-E-1 Addendum adds balanced single twisted-pair topology, architecture and installation requirements to ANSI/TIA-568.0-E providing guidelines in buildings where 1-pair cabling can be deployed. This Addendum will also provide balanced single twisted-pair cabling guidelines in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568.5 for emerging intelligent building systems (IBS), Internet of things (IoT) and machine to machine (M2M) applications that will require higher density, reduced size, and greater flexibility to serve these devices.

ANSI/TIA-568.0-E-1 was formulated under the cognizance of the TIA TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems, TR-42.1 Premises Telecommunications Infrastructure subcommittee.

For more information about TR-42 and how to participate in standards development with TIA, contact Cheryl Thibideau at standards@tiaonline.org.

TIA actively seeks participation in these projects from the user and general interest communities.

ANSI/TIA-568.0-E-1 and all TIA standards may be purchased at the TIA store on the Global IHS Markit Website.
