TR-42.1 Premises Telecommunications Infrastructure
Committee Description
The TR-42.1 Subcommittee develops and maintains cabling standards for generic customer-owned telecommunications networks. These standards are intended to specify open systems designed to support a wide variety of voice, data, video, and other low voltage, power-limited applications. Also, this Sub Committee develops and maintains telecommunications cabling standards for premises networks such as commercial buildings, data centers, building automation, etc. This Sub Committee specifies cabling system topology, architecture, design, installation, testing and performance requirements.
