CONTENTS


CommScope, through its SYSTIMAX brand, manufactures a modular, flexible telecommunications cabling distribution system with a complete line of products supporting:

•Analoganddigitalvoice

•High-speeddatasystemsandlocalareanetworks(LANs)

•Videoandimaging(e.g.,CCTV,CATV)

•IntelligentBuildingInfrastructureBuildings(IBIS)-(e.g.,fire,security,heating,ventilation,andairconditioning[HVAC],etc.).

The purpose of this guide is to help customers to design and install a SYSTIMAX cabling system thatcomplieswiththeSYSTIMAXGigaSPEEDX10Dguaranteedperformancespecificationsandiscapableofsupporting10GBASE-T(10GigabitEthernetovertwistedpair)LANovertheconfigurationsspecifieduptoafull100meter,4-connectionchannel.TheGigaSPEEDX10DFTP solution meets or exceeds all the Category 6A/Class EArequirementsinANSI/TIA-568-C.2,CENELECEN50173series,andISO/IEC11801:2002includingitsamendments1&2.

Always check with applicable codes and standards, and consult with authorities having jurisdiction beforesubmittingfinaldesigns.Applicablelocalornationalsafetyregulationstakeprecedencewhenevertheirrequirementsconflictwiththosespecifiedinthisdocument.

The proper bonding and grounding of the telecommunications cabling, pathways, equipment, and connecting hardware is critical to achieve optimal cabling performance, reduce electromagnetic interference(EMI),protectequipment,andmaintainsafetyforbuildingoccupantsandmaintenancepersonnel.RefertotheANSI-J-STD-607-A-2002,ISO/IEC60364,EN50174-2andEN50310foracceptedindustrypractices.

Before cabling installation, the building should be checked to verify that excess ground voltages donotexist.Typicalcausesmightbehigh-poweredspecializedequipmentorfaultyelectricalwiring.Standardsrequirelessthan1Vacandlessthan1VdcbetweengroundsatanypointswhereFTPcablingisinstalled.SYSTIMAXFTPcablingmustbegroundedatlocationswherepanelsareinstalled,typicallyineachEquipmentRoomandTelecommunicationsRoom(eachDistributor).GroundingisgenerallynotrequiredattheTOsincetheapplicationmustprovidepropergrounding.

Theprimarycomponentsofastandardizedtelecommunicationsgroundingandbondinginfrastructure include:

•TelecommunicationsMainGroundingBusbar(TMGB)–locatedatthetelecommunicationsEFandconnectedtotheelectricalEFandbuildinggroundingelectrodesystem.Atthispoint,the telecommunications grounding and bonding infrastructure is connected to other building groundingsystems(e.g.,electrical,waterpiping,lightningprotection)andisalsobondedtothemetalframeworkofthebuilding.

•TelecommunicationsBondingBackbone(TBB)–tiesTMGBtoTGBs(typicallyNo.6AWG).

•TelecommunicationsGroundingBusbar(TGB)–locatedintheTRsandEFs.Thesearealsoconnectedtothemetalframeworkofthebuilding.

•GroundingEqualizers(GE)–tiemultipleTBBstogether.
