TSB 162 A

This document provides a summary of guidelines from Telecommunications Industry Association Telecommunications System Bulletin TIA TSB-162-A regarding telecommunications cabling infrastructure for supporting wireless local area networks (WLANs). It discusses factors that impact WLAN coverage, recommended grid sizing and WAP density, cabling and mounting options, and concludes that pre-cabling using the guidelines allows for flexible and easy deployment of wireless access points to support evolving wireless technologies and usage.

Evolving WLAN
What changed in WLAN
Advances in wireless technology
( IEEE 802.11ac) require improvements in
supporting cabling infrastructure

MIMO and beam forming technologies


allow simultaneous wireless Gigabit access
to multiple clients

This results in potential backhaul data


rates over the supporting cabling
infrastructure over
6.9 Gbps
What changed in WLAN

Cabling infrastructure must anticipate and


allow for these data rates

Widespread use of WAPs requires WAP


ready cabling pre-installed and pre-
certified to allow plug and play WAP
deployment
IEEE 802.11n and 802.11ac
What is TIA TSB-162-A?
TIA TSB-162-A Scope

This TSB provides guidelines on the topology,


design, installation, and testing of
telecommunications cabling infrastructure, in
compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-C.0 and
ANSI/TIA-569-C, for supporting wireless local
area
networks (WLANs). This TSB describes the
cabling
between local area network (LAN) equipment
and wireless access points including pathways
and spaces to support the cabling and
wireless access points.
Factors impacting WLAN
coverage
Building materials
(e.g., concrete, drywall, wood, steel)
Building configuration (i.e., closed,
semi- closed, or open space)
Building furnishings (e.g., cabinets,
partitions, furniture)
WLAN radio frequency (RF) coverage
design (e.g., adjacent floors, directional
antennas)
Occupant density
Number and types of devices and their
usage
Grid Sizing

The cell size is determined by the


capacity, throughput, occupancy, and
RF survey information.

Once the cell size is determined, the


maximum length of the equipment cord
used to attach the WAP to the TO is the
fundamental metric to determine
horizontal cable length to the outlet
serving the access point.
Grid Sizing

For the 18.3 m ( 60 ft) square grid


illustrated in TIA TSB-162-A, this
maximum radial length of the
equipment cord is 13 m (42 ft).

Using this length and assuming a


20% additional insertion loss in the
equipment cord, the maximum length of
the permanent link from the TO to the
patch panel in the TR is limited to 80 m
(242 ft).

Conclusion and
Recommendations
Pre-cabling using the square cell grid
strategy allows easy plug-in and flexible
positioning of WAPs

Maximum 18 m square cell can be


reduced to allow higher data rates or
support increased occupancy

Category 6A cabling to each WAP for


higher data rates and increased power
delivery
