    This document provides guidelines for wireless network installation based on TIA standards, including cabling, pathways, enclosure placement and power over Ethernet. It discusses TIA cabling standards like 568-C and 569-B that address wireless access point installation. Guidelines recommend mounting enclosures in accessible ceiling areas, with antennas unobstructed and separating power and data cabling. National Electric Code compliance requires plenum rated or enclosed equipment in air handling spaces above ceilings.

    TIA standards often thought of regarding cabling TIA TR-42 is Telecommunications Cabling Systems, but the wireless design is impacted by cabling standards, pathways and spaces, powering, and access point locations. IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN access Points (which may also be Wi-Fi certified for interoperability), will work over a TIA compliant cabling

    TSB-162 Guidelines for Wireless Telecommunications Systems Bulletin TSB162 Telecommunications Cabling Guidelines for Wireless Access Points (APs)
    Provides guidelines on the topology, design, installation, and testing of cabling infrastructure for supporting wireless local area networks (WLANs)

    TSB-162 Guidelines for Wireless

    TSB-162 states that cabling should be installed and performance tested per existing 568-B.2 standards. Determination of exact cell size and placement of the AP is outside the scope of the TSB (perform a site survey or simulation)

    Recommends an in-the-grid ceiling mount, with antenna un-obstructed by ceiling tiles Recommends wall mount above or below suspended ceiling. AC power must be in an approved enclosure above the ceiling Telecommunications Enclosures (TEs) can be mounted in a ceiling panel to provide locked security or aesthetics for APs Consider maintenance and security of APs Observe separation of power and network cabling Local power or PoE acceptable (end span or mid span)

    TIA 569-B Pathways and Spaces


    TIA 569-B Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces Suspended ceiling space is acceptable for consolidation points and horizontal connection points, provided that the space is accessible without moving building fixtures and heavy furniture. Inaccessible ceiling areas shall not be used as a distribution pathway A minimum of 3 clear vertical space shall be available above ceiling tiles for horizontal cabling

    11

    TIA 569-B Pathways and Spaces


    Per TIA 569-B:

    The TE may serve an area up to 3,600 sq. ft. and may replace a TR in office spaces less than 5,000 sq. ft. The TE shall be placed as close as practicable to the center of the area served The TE shall facilitate access for maintenance and MACs, and control unauthorized access. The TE shall provide lighting for maintenance and adequate power and ventilation for equipment contained therein. A Telecommunications Enclosure (TE) may augment a Telecommunications Room (TR) on each floor of a building

    INSTALLING THE AIR HANDLING SPACE


    Ideal location for networking gear is in the ceiling, but What does the National Electric Code (NEC) say about the air handling space (sometimes called plenum) above a suspended ceiling?

    - NEC article 300.22(c) FPN The space over a hung ceiling used for environmental air-handling purposes is an example of the type of other space to which this section applies.

    16

    N.E.C. COMPLIANCE

    NEC article 300.22(C)(2) Electrical equipment with a metal enclosure, (or otherwise listed) shall be permitted to be installed in this other space (airhandling space) unless prohibited elsewhere in this Code.

    NEC article 300.23 cables, raceways and equipment installed behind panels, including suspended ceiling tiles, shall be arranged and secured so as to allow removal of panels and access to the equipment.
    17

    What is Plenum Rated

    Equipment is sometimes said to be Plenum rated if it is UL2043 listed UL2043 is a fire test method for determining the fire performance response of discrete products (including, but not limited to electrical equipment) intended to be installed in air handling spaces, such as above suspended ceilings or below floors Equipment not UL2043 listed should be in a metal enclosure (per NEC article 300.22(C)(2) ).
