<strong>ANSI</strong>/<strong>TIA</strong>-<strong>568</strong>-C.1: Work Area<br />
The work area is the terminal end of the structured cabling network. This is the space for interaction of people with computers,<br />
phones and other IP devices on a local area network (LAN).<br />
• A minimum of two telecommunications outlet connectors are required at each work area:<br />
- First outlet (mandatory): 4-pair 100W UTP or FTP cable and connector (Category 5e minimum recommended)<br />
- Second Outlet:<br />
· 4-pair 100W UTP cable and connector (minimum Category 5e; Category 6 is recommended)<br />
· 2-fiber 62.5/125mm or 50/125mm optical fiber cable and connectors: SC, ST-style, or SFF recommended<br />
• One horizontal transition point or consolidation point is permitted.<br />
• Bridges, taps, or splices are not allowed in category rated copper wiring.<br />
• Additional outlets are recommended. Double gang box is best for service loop storage.<br />
• Maximum length for work area cords is 5 meters.<br />
• Splitters are not allowed in optical fibers.<br />
• Separation from electrical wiring and pathways shall be according to <strong>ANSI</strong>/<strong>TIA</strong>-569-C.<br />
• Work area telecommunications outlet boxes should be located near an electrical outlet (within 3 feet) and installed at the same<br />
height, if appropriate.<br />
• For cable count and pathway capacity, use 1 work area per 100 square feet of floor space as a general rule. Always factor in<br />
future growth for all pathways.<br />
