Grounding and Bonding for Commercial and Government Buildings Conforming to Telecommunications Infrastructure Standards - A Background Report.
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to provide a history of the development and a content summary of the referenced standards for those readers who have not had the benefit of participating in the Working Groups or Sub-working Groups that meet regularly to develop the recommended standards. Telecommunications, as used in this report, refers to all forms of information that are conveyed electronically within the building (e.g., voice, data, video, alarms, environmental control, security, audio). The report will concentrate particularly on the proposed standard entitled Commercial Building Grounding and Bonding Requirements for Telecommunications developed by the ad hoc working group, TIA/EIA. The key to the success of the grounding portion of the telecommunications infrastructure as addressed in the subject proposed standard, is based on a ground window concept. The grounding approach recommended in the subject standard, works conceptually for the wiring topology proposed originally in ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 (telecommunications wiring standard) and installed in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-569 (telecommunications pathways and spaces standard).
