Information technology - Generic cabling for customer premises - Part 9904: Assessment and mitigation of installed balanced cabling channels to support 2,5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T

ISO/IEC TR 11801-9904:2017(E) This technical report provides guidance on whether installed Class D and Class E channels specified in ISO/IEC 11801:2002 will support 2,5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T. It also provides mitigation procedures to improve the perfomance of Class D and Class E channels to the point where these applications are supported. Higher classes according to ISO/IEC 11801:2002 will support 2,5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T without mitigation up to 100 m.

GENERIC CABLING FOR CUSTOMER PREMISES –

Part 9904: Assessment and mitigation of installed balanced cabling
channels to support 2,5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T

FOREWORD
1) ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) form
the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical
committees; any ISO and IEC member body interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this
preparatory work. International governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with ISO and IEC
also participate in this preparation.
2) In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to
national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the
national bodies casting a vote.
3) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC and ISO member bodies.
4) IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted
by IEC and ISO member bodies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the
technical content of IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications is accurate, IEC or ISO cannot be held responsible for
the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
5) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC and ISO member bodies undertake to apply IEC, ISO and
ISO/IEC publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications.
Any divergence between any ISO/IEC publication and the corresponding national or regional publication
should be clearly indicated in the latter.
6) ISO and IEC provide no marking procedure to indicate their approval and cannot be rendered responsible for
any equipment declared to be in conformity with an ISO/IEC publication.
7) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
8) No liability shall attach to IEC or ISO or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of their technical committees and IEC or ISO member bodies for any personal injury,
property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including
legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication of, use of, or reliance upon, this ISO/IEC publication or
any other IEC, ISO or ISO/IEC publications.
9) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
10) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Technical Report may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. However,
the joint technical committee may propose the publication of a Technical Report when it has
collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International
Standard, for example "state of the art".
ISO/IEC TR 11801-9904, which is a Technical Report, has been prepared by
subcommittee 25: Interconnection of information technology equipment, of ISO/IEC joint
technical committee 1: Information technology.
The list of all currently available parts of the ISO/IEC 11801 series, under the general title
Information technology – Generic cabling for customer premises, can be found on the IEC
web site.
