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/. Following its passage, the Category 6 Consortium has been formed to promote the adoption of category 6. As part of the mission to provide user education, the Category 6 Consortium is releasing this document to give industry participants additional information on electrostatic discharge (ESD) - what it is, how it affects telecommunications cabling and equipment, and what is being done to protect equipment from damage due to ESD. It is important to note that any opinions expressed in this white paper are those of the participants of the Category 6 Consortium and are not necessarily those of the entire TIA membership.

Category 6 Cabling: Static Discharge Between LAN Cabling and Equipment 1 What is Electrostatic Discharge? Electrostatic charges are generated when different materials come into contact and are then sep- arated. When materials come into contact, a chemical bond of varying strength is formed
