5.5.3 Telecommunications outlet
Replace the third paragraph with:
1)
A minimum of one TO served by 100 Ω or 120 Ω cable shall be provided at each work area
(100 Ω preferred). Other TOs shall be supported by either balanced cable or by optical fibre
2)
cable . In the horizontal cabling, at least one TO shall be configured as specified in item b of
6.1.3 (balanced or optical fibre cable) or at least one TO shall be served by either class D or
3)
optical class, as identified in 7.1.1. When a TO is supported by balanced cable, 2 pairs
or 4 pairs shall be provided at each TO; all pairs shall be terminated. If less than four pairs are
4)
provided, the outlet shall be clearly marked . Emerging balanced cable applications may be
limited by differential delay of pairs that serve a single telecommunications outlet. See clause 9
for TO specifications that correspond to each of the cables listed above.
Footnotes
Replace footnotes with:
1)
When the greatest flexibility is desired, four pair or two quad cable should be used (see Annex G).
2)
When the largest bandwidth is desired the use of optical fibre is recommended.

3)
Installation of 2 pairs not capable of forming class D links may limit the applications supported.
4)
See annex G for number and performance of pairs needed for different applications and their pin assignment.
