REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
 
Page 2-10
Token ring signals should not be routed through copper cables 
that exit a building or which are adjacent to cables either 
exiting a building or exposed to lightning strikes and power 
surges.
UTP cables that contain token ring signals should not be 
simultaneously used for applications which may impress high 
voltages (greater that 5 volts) with sharp rise or fall times, 
since the noise coupling from such signals could directly cause 
errors on the token ring network.
For single telecommunications closet rings, lobe lengths should 
not exceed 100 meters or 22 to 24 AWG wire from the attaching 
device and the TCU port.
When possible, use dedicated UTP cable for token ring signals.
