Intelligent Building Trend
Traditional Building
Employ a vast array of
different protocols and
cabling systems
Converged Building
Multiple building systems over a
single IT cabling infrastructure One cable type means:
(fiber and copper) • Rapid deployment
• Reduced labor costs
Recognized Horizontal Cables
The following types of horizontal cables are recognized in TIA Standards
Performance designations are based on International Standard ISO/IEC 11801:2011 Ed. 2.2 and North American
Standard ANSI/TIA-568.2-D. (ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1)
Optical Fiber Types
62,5µm
50µm 9µm
Multimode Singlemode
Features & Benefits
Copper Fiber
Category 6 – 250 MHz OM3 – up to 1500 MHz/km1
Bandwidth Category 6A – 500 MHz OM4 – up to 3500 MHz/km1
Category 7A – 1000 MHz Singlemode - unlimited
100 m (90m of horizontal cable; Multimode – Up to 2km2
Distance 10m of patch cables) Singlemode - Up to 40km2
Data and PoE (Power over Data only
Applications Ethernet)
(Power can be achieved through a hybrid
cable with media converters)
• TIA-862-B-2017
• Category 6; category 6A recommended
• BICSI 007-2017
• Category 6A/Class EA or higher recommended
ANSI/TIA-862-B-2016
Structured Cabling Infrastructure Standard for Intelligent
Building Systems
General substitution of the term “intelligent building system”
for the previous term “building automation system”
Addition of guidance for cabling for:
Wireless systems
Remote powering over balanced twisted-pair cabling
Smart lighting

• The MPTL is constructed by direct field termination of horizontal cabling at the
device end with a modular plug - replacing the TO/SO and associated Work Area
(WA) cord.
• TIA-568.2-E requires that horizontal cable be terminated onto a TO. In certain
cases there may be a need to terminate horizontal cables directly to a plug.
• BICSI-007 recognizes the MPTL and refers to it as a direct connection method,
with or without an HCP
MPTL/Direct Connect Applications
4-pair PoE
(Type 3) 60.0 W 4-pairs 600 mA (.3 Amp)
4-pair PoE
(Type 4) 90.0 W 4-pairs 960 mA (.48 Amp)
• Contact arcing occurs when un-mating pairs under load and may
affect connecting hardware reliability
Pathway Capacity
• Maximum pathway (cable tray/wireway)
capacity shall not exceed a calculated fill ratio
of 50% to a maximum of 150 mm (6 in)
inside depth.
• But what happens when powered cables heat up in
bundles?

Part VI. Premises Powering of Communications
Equipment over Communications Cables
840.160 Powering Circuits. Communications cables, in addi-
tion in carrying the communications circuit, shall also be
permitted to carry circuits for powering communications
equipment. Where the power supplied over a communications
cable to communications equipment is greater than 60 watts,
communication cables and the power circuit shall comply
with 725.144 where communications cables are used in place
of Class 2 and Class 3 cables.
2017 NEC Table 725.144
• Conductor gauge, bundle size and temperature rating
are used to establish a safe power rating (Ampacity)
for each conductor
Example: Can this cable support Type 4 PoE?
• 24 AWG category 5e cable
• Bundle size of 75 cables
• Mechanically rated to 60°C (Operating Temperature)
