IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), our founders decided to
give it the short form ISO. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal.
 Data Center Telecom Standards
• ANSI/TIA-942 A-1 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard
for Data Centers (2014 – update “B”-1 – US & Canada) 2017
Actual Void TIER word, Container Construction
• ISO/IEC 11801-5 from 24764 Information Technology – Generic
Cabling for Data Centre Premises (approved Nov 2017 Intl)
• CENELEC EN 50173-5 Information Technology – Generic Cabling
Systems Part 5: Data Centres . NEW 50600

 Actualizaciones en la TIA942-B

• Cambios en tablas del anexo F principalmente donde especifica Rating 3 para

mantenimiento concurrente y Rating 4 para Tolerante a fallas.
• Se remueve separación de estacionamientos a 9.1 mts. Se cambia por instalación de
barreras físicas.
• Se permite instalación de baterías fabricadas para 5 años de vida antes exigía 15 años.
• Se pide 10 minutos de soporte en baterías para todos los Ratings.
• TIA942-B prefiere baterías en salón separado pero es permitida en el mismo salón si los
códigos locales lo aceptan.
• Se pide 72 horas de soporte de combustible para generador , Se limitará si los códigos
locales exigen menor almacenamiento.
• Para enfriamiento el cambio de N a +1 se puede hacer manual en Rating 3 y debe ser
automático en Rating 4.
 Actualizaciones en la TIA942-B
• Recommended maximum cable lengths for direct attach cabling in
EDAs has been reduced from 10 m (33 ft) to 7 m (23ft). Direct attach
cabling between rows is not recommended.
• Added recommendation that cabinets be at 1200 mm (48”) deep and
to consider cabinets wider than 600 mm (24”) .
• Recommendation to consider preterminated cabling to reduce
installation time and improve consistency and quality of terminations.
• Added recommendation to consider needs for proper labeling, cable
routing, cable management.
• Ability to insert and remove cords without disrupting existing or
adjacent connections.
 Actualización en la TIA942-B
• Recomendacion de gabinetes de 1200
mm de profundidad
• Conforma modulación de 8 tabletas
• Considerar instalación de gabines con
frente superior a 60 cmt de ancho para
facilitar cableado y administración.
• Gabinetes y racks deben ser
organizados en patrón alternativo para
crear corredores frios y calientes.

3 Tier (Core, Aggregate, Edge)

Centralized Fabric

Leaf/Spine – or Fat Tree

Types of Fabrics
• Fat Tree • Full Mesh
• Access switches to • Most resilient
Interconnection • Most expensive
Switches
• One hop anywhere • Interconnected Meshes
• Full Mesh in a Pod
• Fat Tree with Port
Extenders (3 Tier) • Centralized Switch
• Like the old days!
• Fat Tree Pods
• Can be least expensive
• Same as Fat Tree but in
separate pods
• May be based on
function
Centralized Switch: Structured Cabling
 Higher Power Applications
• 30W
• IEEE 802.3ac WAPS
• Nurse call systems
• 60W
• Point of Sale (retail)
• Building management
• Thin clients
• Video conferencing, hospitality
• Industrial automation
• 90W - 100W
• LED lighting
• Televisions

 Cabling Components
Review compliance standards :
ISO/IEC recommends configuration of links with
a Class EA minimum performance for Service
Distribution.
- Category 6A components or Category 8.1
components provide Class EA balanced cabling
performance,
--Category 7A components or Category 8.2
components provide Class FA balanced cabling
performance,
-Category 8.1 components cannot be used to
provide Class F or Class FA cabling
performance. Fiber:
OM3 2000 Mhz
OM4 4700 Mhz
OS1 1.0 dB/km
Font:ISO11801-6 2017 OS2 0.5 dB/Km
 Key Characteristics of Class I, Class II and Category 8
• Characterized to 2 GHz
• Either used fully shielded or overall shielded
cables
• S/FTP for class II
• F/UTP or S/FTP for class I or category 8 cables
• Offers unprecedented signal-to-noise margin
for support of 25 and 40 Gb/s transmission rates
• Provides lower DC resistance and insertion loss,
enabling more efficient support for remote
powering applications
• Shares open and common specifications that ensure interoperability
and backwards compatibility with lower classes and categories
 Applications for Class I, Class II and Category 8
• 2-connector, 30m channels
• Short-reach switch-to-server edge
connections in the DC
• Support for future IEEE 802.3bq 25BASE-T
and 40GBASE-T
• Offers greater reach than direct attach
cable assemblies such as SFP+ and QSFP+
• Supports a broader range of configurations
• Top of Rack (ToR)
• Middle of Row (MoR)
• End of Row (EoR)
 IEEE 802.3bq 25G/40GBASE-T
• Migration is seen as progressing
from 10 Gb/s to 25 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s
• Supports longer lengths than direct
attach solutions
• 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T
• 30m category 8 cabling (2 connectors)
• Optimized topology for making
server to switch connections in both
middle-of-row and end-of-row data
center deployments
• Equipment availability is [TBD]
 Most used standards for I.B. cabling.
• ISO/IEC 11801-6 2017 Part 6: Distributed building services.
• ANSI/TIA-862-B “Structured Cabling Infrastructure
Standard for Intelligent Building Systems ”
• TIA TSB-184-A 2017 ISO29125 Supporting Power
DeliveryOver Balanced Twisted-Pair Cabling
• IEEE802.3bt DTE Power via MDI over 4-Pair 2018 D
• ANSI/BICSI-ANSI/BICSI 007-2017, Information
Communication Technology Design and Implementation
Practices for Intelligent Buildings and Premises
By using the above standards, the design of smart
buildings will be successful.

 Tempest and ISO-27000
Tempest was the name of a classified (secret) U.S. government project to
study (probably for the purpose of both exploiting and guarding against)
the susceptibility of some computer and telecommunications devices to
emit electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in a manner that can be used to
reconstruct intelligible data
