ANSI / TIA -568-C - Hubbell Premise Wiring

ANSI/TIA-568-C: Horizontal Cabling
Consolidation Point
The consolidation point is an optional interconnection that is allowed in the horizontal cabling between the TR and the work area.
• The consolidation point must be mounted to a permanent building structure in an area free from obstructions or furniture.
• Cross connections are not allowed in the consolidation enclosure.
• Due to the effect of NEXT on multiple connections in close proximity, this standard recommends locating all consolidation points
at least 15m (49ft) away from the TR. Most Hubbell systems do not have this restriction.
• Consolidation points and transition points cannot be combined in any single horizontal link.
• Each consolidation point should serve a maximum of 12 work areas, with consideration for future growth.
• Administration should follow the guidelines of ANSI/TIA-606-B.
The Multi-User Telecommunications Outlet Assembly (MUTOA)
The MUTOA contains multiple telecommunications outlet connectors to service a cluster of individual work areas.
• A combination of solid conductor 4-pair UTP cables and fiber optic cables may be run from the TR to the MUTOA.
• The MUTOA is permanently mounted to a building structure that is in close proximity to a cluster of work areas.
• A MUTOA allows horizontal cabling to remain intact when the open-office layout plan is changed.
• Work area cables are either fiber patch cords or stranded conductor copper cords with a modular plug on each end.
• Length of all work area cables from the MUTOA must be labeled on both ends. Maximum length is 20 meters for horizontal
runs less than 70 meters.
• Each MUTOA should serve a maximum of 12 work areas.
• Administration should follow the guidelines of ANSI/TIA-606-B.
