REFERENCE LIBRARY

Standards & Reference Library

A map to the documents that govern installation decisions, without pretending a summary replaces the actual standard or project specification.

IEEE 802.3 Ethernet

Ethernet physical layers and Power over Ethernet are within the IEEE 802.3 family. Use the applicable published standard and equipment specifications for formal requirements.

IEEE 802.3 information

Structured cabling

Projects may reference TIA and/or ISO/IEC structured-cabling standards. The exact edition and test limit matter. Netcomtech does not reproduce copyrighted standards text.

Fibre end-face inspection

IEC 61300-3-35 is widely referenced for fibre connector end-face inspection criteria. Use the applicable edition and project requirements.

WiFi deployment

The Wireless Broadband Alliance publishes deployment guidance covering planning, site survey, RF considerations, implementation and operation.

WBA deployment guidance

Manufacturer requirements

Cable, connector, cabinet, UPS and equipment manufacturers publish product-specific limits. Those specifications can be more specific than a generic field rule and must be checked for the installed product.

Project specification

The approved project specification can define test configuration, limits, reporting, warranty and handover requirements. Record which document and revision governed the installation.
