History
1998
BOD approved joint standard with NECA
2001
Joint standard published
2006
Joint standard revised
The first standard to address the
importance of proper telecommunications
infrastructure installation
ANSI/NECA/BICSI-568 is based upon
BICSI’s Telecommunications Cabling
Installation Manual
Contents
• Support Structures
– Allow installation of telecommunications wire, cable,
connecting hardware, and associated apparatus. Pathways
Route survey and planning
Cable trays (supporting, various types)
Conduit (length limitations, bends, securing, bonding)
SpacesPlywood backboards (securing to walls)
Equipment racks, cabinets (wall and floor mounted)
Bonding
Cable support systems (J-hooks)
Separation from possible EMI sources
Contents
• Pulling cable– Setup
Horizontal and backbone cables
Horizontal and vertical pathways
Open ceiling
– Preferred optical fiber premises cable jacket colors
• Firestopping
– Re-establishing the integrity of fire rated walls, floors,
and ceilings is an essential part of a cabling
installation.
– Ten basic types of firestop
– Typical installations illustrated
Contents
• Cable Terminations and Splicing
– Fiber and Copper
– Color codes
– Dressing cables for termination
• Installation verification
– Visual inspection and performance test
documentation are required for proof of proper
installation conformance
Contents
• Field Testing
– Copper
Permanent link
Channel
– Optical fiber
OLTS, OTDR optional
OLTS – One jumper reference; mandrel on launch cord
Length, polarity, attenuation
Status
• Can be obtained from BICSI

• Due for revision by 2011
• Items to cover
– Category 6A
– OM4
– Other items of interest
Purpose of ANSI/BICSI-001-2009
• Enables K-12 ITS design
– Specifies minimum requirements and
guidelines
– Currently no other standards like this one
– Deals with safety in an educational
environment
Target Audience
• Intended to be used by;
– K-12 facility owners,
– Architects & engineers,
– Telecommunications and information
technology (IT) consultants,
– Project managers,
– Telecommunications/IT technology installers

NECA/BICSI-607-2009Telecommunications Bonding
and Grounding Planning and
Installation Methods for
Commercial Buildings
Telecommunications Room
Grounding Equalizer (GE)
Telecommunications Bonding Backbone (TBB)
Bonding Jumper
Telecommunications Grounding Busbar
(TGB)
Unit Bonding Conductor (UBC)
Vertical Rack Grounding
Busbar (RGBV)
Telecommunication Equipment Bonding Conductor (TEBC)
Rack Bonding Conductor (RBC)
Equipment & Rack
Bonding
• Option “1”
• Equipment attached to a
rack bonding conductor
(RBC)
– From rack/cabinet to TEBC
• Requires multiple cutting
and stripping of the RBC
• Requires multiple
irreversible connections
* NECA/BICSI-607
Equipment & Rack
Bonding• Option “2”
• Horizontal rack
grounding busbar
• mounted on top/bottom
• equipment bonded
directly to the busbar
with a unit bonding
conductor (UBC)
• UBCs may be longer
• Adds to the complexity
of cable management
Equipment & Rack
• Option ”3”
• Vertical rack grounding
busbar
– runs length of rack/cabinet
– equipment bonded directly to
the busbar with a unit
bonding conductor (UBC)
• Preferred option resulting in
short lengths of UBCs
Equipment & Rack
Bonding
• Unacceptable practice
– series or “daisy
chain” connected
equipment bonding
conductors
* NECA/BICSI-607
Connecting to the Busbar
Remove surface debris
with an abrasive pad
Apply thin coating of
anti-oxidant compound
where connection
takes place
Connecting to the Busbar
Attach lugs to the busbar
stainless steel or silicon
bronze hardware
tighten to the appropriate
torque rating
