Cabling 1000Base-
TX Compliant
< 5 No
5 Yes
5e Yes
6 Yes
> 6 Yes
Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, preferably 3 m (10
ft) in length. Copper data cables should not be used for inter-building
communications.
Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and
should be installed in separate conduits. Power and data cables should intersect
at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.
Required Action
New wiring infrastructure required.
Verify TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
No action required. New installations should be designed with
Category 5e or higher.
No action required.
Connector and wiring standards to be determined.
