NOTE:
This section cites standards from the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), the Electronic Industry Association (EIA), the
Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Association
(TIA/EIA), and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Even in non-domestic
installations, these standards should be adhered to.

3.9.3.1 Case
Type
CAT 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), 100-ohm cable is the recommended
cable type for computer network cabling, and will be the assumed cable type
throughout this section. CAT 5 cable is preferred over CAT 3 and CAT 4 cables
because of its ability to support 100Mbps (Megabits per second) systems and
because of its better immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMT) and Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI). Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A, and CSA-T529 for
more information.

3.9.3.2 Connecting
Hardware
UTP cables shall be terminated with connecting hardware of the same category
rating or higher. This includes all connectors, punch blocks, cross-connect
jumpers and patch cords. It is recommended that hardware used to terminate
cables be of the insulation displacement (IDC) type. Modular connectors shall
also be of the proper typed for the cable used; solid conductor cable uses a
different connector than stranded cable. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A, and CSA-
T529 for more information.

3.9.3.3
Cable and Connector Wiring
Appropriate color-coding and jack pair assignments should be followed when
wiring modular jacks, connectors, and cables. The same wiring standard shall be
used throughout the cabling system. ANSI/TIA/EIA T568B is the recommended
standard. The following illustration shows end views of an 8-pin Modular female
jack for T568B with the pairs and colors identified. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A,
and CSA-T529 for more information.

Warning!
Crimp all connector wiring completely. Ensure that all crimps have fully
penetrated the protective coating on the wiring. Ensure that enough of the
protective coating is left in place to fit inside the connector. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause system failures to occur.
