Systems
• TIA Standards are often specified by North American end users, while
• ISO Standards are more commonly referred to in the global
marketplace.
• CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical
Standardization),
• Other regional cabling standards groups include
– JSA/JSI (Japanese Standards Association),
– CSA (Canadian Standards Association),
– AS/NZ (Australian/New Zealand Standards Association)
– These regional cabling standards groups develope local
specifications and contribute actively to their country's ISO technical
advisory committees.
– The contents of their Standards are usually very much in harmony
with TIA and ISO requirements.

Distributors• Distributors should be located such
that the resulting cable lengths are
consistent with the channel
performance requirements of the
standard and that the maximum
allowed cabling lengths are not
exceeded.
• In any case the maximum channel
length in horizontal cabling is 100 m.
• Total maximum channel
length of horizontal, building
backbone and campus
backbone cabling is 2000 m
• The functions of multiple distributors may be combined, when needed. For
example the functions of campus, building and floor distributor can be
combined.

Healthcare Facility Telecommunications Infrastructure
The TIA-1179 standard specifies requirements for telecommunications
infrastructure intended to support a wide range of healthcare facilities
and systems to include cabling, topology, pathways and work areas,
and the devices attached to it.
Pathways and spaces
• Recommends minimum of two diverse pathways from the entrance
facility to the equipment room to allow the user to segregate network-
type applications such as voice and data from other critical
applications that are more specific to healthcare, such as imaging and
diagnostic communications.
• Pathway redundancy
• Larger equipment rooms and telecommunications rooms (TRs) with a
minimum of 130 square feet.
Recommended Cables
• Recommends a minimum of Category 6 copper cabling for horizontal
runs (Category 6A for new builds), as well as 50-micron multimode
fiber-optic cabling for high-bandwidth transmissions. (Eg. Computed
tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
exams)
• Multimode and singlemode fiber-optic cabling and should be
redundant.
• Recommendations is to segregate cables based on the applications
or services they are supporting. (Eg. color-code cables and
connectors so they can be identified easily )
• Choice of cable heavily affected by the environment (eg.
electromagnetic interference (EMI), temperature swings from area to
area, and the possibility of contact with chemicals and other gases)
Work Area Environments (ANSI/TIA-1179)
• Patient Services
• Surgery/Procedure/Operating Rooms
• Emergency
• Ambulatory Care
• Women’s Health
• Diagnostic and Treatment
• Caregiver
• Service/Support
• Facilities
• Operations
• Critical Care
Work Area
Each work area is given a recommended density of Low, Medium or
High, which provides a guideline as to how many information outlets
are appropriate for the space.
• Low density is defined to be between 2 – 6 outlets
• Medium density is 6 – 14 outlets
• High density work areas should have > 14 outlets
• Recommends the use of multi-user telecommunications outlet
assemblies (MUTOAs) to provide the flexibility of adding up to 24
additional outlets to a work area but does not recommend the use of
consolidation points (CPs) to add outlets to a work area.
TIA-1179 Healthcare Standard vs. TIA-568-C Commercial
Building Standards
Room Size—TIA-1179 recommends a growth factor of 100% when determining room size for
Equipment Rooms (ERs) and specifies that Telecommunications Rooms (TRs) should be sized at 12
m2 (130 ft2) or larger.
Cabling Practices—TIA-1179 specifies a minimum of two diverse pathways to be provided between
ERs and entrance facilities and to each TR or Telecommunications Enclosure (TE) for critical care
areas.
Work Area Location—TIA-1179 does not require outlets to be located together and location of
outlets should consider the various uses. For example, while commercial building standards place
outlets at 18 inches above the finished floor, outlets in healthcare facilities may best be located at
bedside height to support patient monitoring, nurse call and other systems.
Work Area Outlet density—TIA-1179 recommends higher work area outlet densities based on the
function at each location. Commercial building standards recommend only a minimum of two work
area outlets.
Recognized Transmission Media-- TIA-1179 recommends using the highest performing media
whenever possible and specifies Category 6a cabling capable of supporting 10Gb/s for all new
healthcare installations.
TIA-1179 Healthcare Standard vs. TIA-568-C Commercial
Building Standards
Infection Control Requirements (ICR)—TIA-1179 recommends labeling spaces subject to ICR. The
standard also states that TEs may be a better option for ICR areas and should be a suitable material
when installed in surgical and other sterile environments.
The Use of MUTOAs—TIA-1179 does not recommend the use of MUTOAs for new construction, but
states that MUTOAs may be advantageous for renovation of existing healthcare facilities in areas
where any significant collection of equipment or modalities are moved or reconfigured frequently.
Security and Segregation—TIA-1179 recommends the use of segregated networks when necessary
to ensure adequate support of life and safety protocols. The standard recommends considering the
use of colored cables, colored jacks or keyed connectivity to maintain segregation.
Environmental Considerations—TIA-1179 recognizes that some locations in healthcare facilities
may be sensitive to atmospheric contamination, high levels of EMI, radiation, high temperature,
chemicals, etc. To minimize these effects, the standard recommends that solutions, design and
installation should be compatible with the surrounding environment.
Challenges
• Identifying the correct ports to patch and unpatch
• Patching the correct media with correct compliance to a specific port
• Differentiating OM3 and OM4 fiber
• Triggering alert for incorrect patching
• Triggering alert for unauthorized patching
The Importance of Securing the Physical Layer
In today’s environment, there is no way to view, manage or audit the
physical layer (cables, connection points and their paths). This means
the physical layer is not subject to the same security policy
compliance as higher layers of the network.
“When cabling changes are
made in the switching closets,
individual traces lead to
human error every time!”

and HIPAA Security Officer, Mission
Internal Medical Group, Inc
What if we can…
• Monitor and report real-time status of every connection point locally
and remotely
• Eliminate human error at the physical network level
• Speed time to recover from network attacks, damaged cables or other
network problems
• View real time network topography
• Detect real-time intrusions to the network
• Improve network uptime
• Receive alerts on any physical, layer one changes
• Complete audit trail of every connection
