This con- sortium — focused on category 6 cabling systems — has assisted in development of generic stan- dards primarily for balanced twisted-pair cabling systems. These standards cover balanced twist- ed-pair cable and associated connecting hardware specifications, including test procedures, per- formance requirements and test instrument requirements. In development of these standards, the- oretical models and controlled experimentation were used to validate link and channel specifica- tions via component requirements. On June 20, 2002 TIA published the category 6 addition to the TIA-568 standard, which has the official document number of ANSI/TIA/. The Category 6 Consortium has been formed to promote the adoption of category 6. To begin this initiative, the Category 6 Consortium is releasing this white paper to provide industry participants with an update on category 6 cabling and applications standards, as well as additional references for finding category 6 information and products. It is important to note that any opinions expressed in this document are those of the participants of the Category 6 Consortium and are not necessarily those of the entire TIA membership.
