The task force will develop a report on high performance structured cabling applications.
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) has issued a call for interest on behalf of its TR-42.7 Engineering Committee on Telecommunications Copper Cabling Systems (568) to form a task group to develop a TSB document. TIA is actively seeking participation in these projects from the user and general interest communities.
The TSB document, initially titled "High Performance Structured Cabling (HPSC) Applications," will provide usage details for deploying Category 8 structured cabling in data centers and other premise environments that will have a need for data rates greater than 10 Gb/s. The information in this TSB document can then be used today when designing networks and facilities for high speed applications, including 40GBASE-T, which is currently under development as IEEE P802.3bq.
