    There’s an article on Siemon’s website called “De-Mystifying Cabling Specifications From 5e to 7A” which explains what network cabling standards mean to networks.

    Here are the currently active standards in TIA and ISO (taken from the article):

    TIA Cabling Standards

    Category 5e ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2, Commercial Building Telecommunications Standard Part 2: Balanced Twisted pair Cabling Components, 2001

    Category 6 ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1, Commercial Building Telecommunications Standard Part 2: Addendum 1: Transmission Performance Specifications for 4 Pair 100 Ohm category 6 cabling, 2002

    Category 6A ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10, Commercial Building Telecommunications Standard Part 2: Addendum 10: Transmission Performance Specifications for 4 Pair 100 Ohm Augmented Category 6 Cabling, pending publication

    ISO Cabling Standards

    Class D ISO/IEC 11801, 2nd Ed., Information technology – Generic Cabling for Customer Premises, 2002

    Class E SO/IEC 11801, 2nd Ed., Information technology – Generic Cabling for Customer Premises, 2002

    Class EA Amendment 1 to ISO/IEC 11801, 2nd Ed., Information technology – Generic Cabling for Customer Premises, pending publication

    Class F ISO/IEC 11801, 2nd Ed., Information technology – Generic Cabling for Customer Premises, 2002
