PerfectSiteSM is an active participant in many commercial building standard bodies, TIA/EIA (authors of 568-A, 569-A, 606, 607, and other related documents), US TAG (ISO/IEC 11801), NEMA Premises Wiring Subcommittee, ICEA/Telecommunications Wire and Cable Standards, Technical Advisory Committee (TWCS/TAC), and other Standard Committees.
PerfectSiteSM provides individual and group training on these standards with a heavy emphasis on understanding how standards apply to real-life situations. (BICSI NEWS - Standards Report, February, 1997)
Patch-cord bend radius is one of the industry's biggest misconceptions. The bend radius is covered in TIA/EIA-568-A document section 10.6.3.2, Cabling Practices for UTP Horizontal Cable, "Also, in spaces with UTP terminations, cable-bend radii shall not be less than four times the cable diameter for horizontal cable." This applies to termination on the back of the patch panel and outlet location where the horizontal cables terminate and bend-radius stability can occur due to securing the cables in place by tie wraps or other means, but at the front of the patch panel or work area location patch-cords may be in a state of flux from moves, adds, or changes and securing of patch cords become impartial in real life. While the standards do not address the bend radius of patch cords, neither do they advocate the kinking of patch cords, which can lead to signal degradation in copper and broken glass in fiber patch cords. |
