- Hi,
-
- Does anyone know how much consideration the ATM Forum
- has given to the EIA/TIA-598 premises wiring standard? Or
- if ATM Forum members are also contributing to this
- standard? The concerns that I have are 1) the termination
- connector for category 5 wire and how that relates to the
- connector that the ATM Forum (or CCITT?) might be considering
- for ATM over TP, and 2) the distance that the EIA/TIA-598 spec
- gives as the maximum distance between the wire center and
- a given end node (90 meters from closet to outlet and 3
- meters from outlet to endnode). Is this a realistic distance
- (it sounds so to me but I just want someone more in tune with
- this stuff to verify.)
-
- Many thanks!
