Siemon Guidelines To Industry Standards

Standards Organizations

Since the first release of the Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 in 1991), the volume of standards information available to the end-user community has increased substantially. As a result, The Siemon Company has focused efforts on educating our customers on the importance of generic, standards-based components and system requirements. The following information has been condensed from a compilation of relevant national and international telecommunications standards and provides a reference to the most commonly used information. Our active involvement in standards development provides us with advance information on emerging standards requirements for both the premises cabling and the applications that the cabling is intended to support. We have also included a preview of pending standards projects.
