Introduction
Originally a standard for small commercial
buildings the 570B standard has migrated to
primarily address residential installations.
Communication infrastructures are still
relatively new in the residential construction
market but have become common for new
construction.
2
General Requirements
Communication cabling infrastructures in singledwelling residences need to support a wide
variety of communication requirements. The
cabling structure needs to address:
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Voice
Data
Video
Security
Whole-home audio
Control system

Single Dwelling Residence Infrastructure

Grades of Residential Cabling
Grade 1: Basic
◦ Provides for basic telecommunication services.
Minimum:
One 4-pair UTP (Cat5e or better)
One 75Ω Coax
Grade 2: Intermediate
◦ Provides for basic to intermediate service needs.
Minimum:
Two 4-pair UTP (Cat5e or better)
Two 75Ω Coax
Optional 2-fiber optical cabling
5
Some Definitions
Demarcation point: Point where ownership
of the hardware changes
Distribution Device (DD): Central facility
used to connect outlets within the residence
and to the service providers
ADO Cable: Connectorized cable assembly
used to connect between the demarcation
point and the DD.

7
The Distribution Device (DD)
The DD may consist of:
◦ Passive cross-connections
◦ Active cross-connections
◦ A combination of passive & active cross-connections
The DD is installed within the tenant’s space in a
centralized location that is easy to access
The DD should be capable of handling all
communication requirements
8
Space for the DD
There is a guideline for space to allocate for the DD
The DD can be installed either on a backboard or
between wall studs.
Multiple interconnected DDs may be used within the
same space
DDs usually require electrical service

10
Outlet Cables
Cables are run from the DD to the telecom
outlets in a star topology.
Cables shall not exceed 90 meters, with an
additional 10 meters for patch cords and
jumpers.
Recognized cables:
◦ 4pr UTP (cat 5e or better)
◦ Coax RG-6 (RG59 for CCTV only) foil & braid
◦ Optical fiber (50, & 62.5 MM, SM)
11
Room Requirements
Minimum of one outlet location for each of these
rooms:
◦
◦
◦
◦
Kitchen
Bedroom
Family Room
Den/Study Room
Additional outlets should be installed where:
◦ there is more than 3.7 meters (12ft) along a continuous
wall
◦ There is more than 7.6 meters (25ft) along a broken wall
12

Cable Pathways
Efforts should be made to conceal the cabling
within the walls of the building especially in new
construction and remodeling.

14
Special Case Cabling
Alarm, Control and other cables may fall under the
jurisdiction of local and national codes and laws.
The standard provides installation suggestions but
is not meant to overrule specific legal and
performance requirements.
15
Special Case: Alarm/Security Cable
Security alarm systems may consist of:
◦ Sensors
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Motion, breakage or shock detectors
Door and window contacts
Sound & Pressure sensors
Water & temperature sensors
Smoke, heat and CO2 sensors
Control panels
Entry keypads and manual activators
1 and/or 2-way audio and/or video
Alerting devices (siren, strobes, bells, etc)
Remote (personal) devices
Door and window latch operators
Lighting control
Remote connection
16
Alarm/Security Systems Cable
Should be run in a physical star topology. Daisychaining some devices may be the standard connection
method but it is not recommended.
Fire systems are subject to regulation by the US NEC.
Typical security systems cable:
◦ 16 or 18 AWG stranded or 22 AWG solid conductors
◦ 4 conductor (active devices) or 2 conductor (passive devices)
17
Video Cabling
RG 59 for baseband video (such as CCTV)
RG 6 for broadband (CATV, Satellite)
Cat 5e/6 may be used with a balun
18
Home Audio
Location of the audio systems is important for
performance quality and ease of control.
Follow manufacturer recommendations for
installation locations and requirements
Three areas of control:
◦ Headend (DD) to distribution device
◦ Distribution device to volume control
◦ Volume control to the speaker

Audio Cable
Headend (DD) to distribution:
◦ one cat 5e/6
◦ 4 conductor speakers for left and right
◦ 2 conductors for control
Distribution to Volume control & Volume control to
speakers
◦ one cat 5e/6
◦ 4 conductors for 1 or 2 speakers
21
Audio Cable AWG
The AWG is based on the wattage of the speakers and the length of
the cable. Conductors should be red(+) and black(-), and for 4conductors should include white(+) and green(-).
Source: ANSI-TIA-EIA-570 Standard
22
Control Systems
Climate control, lighting control and other
home automation:
◦ Recommend following manufacturer’s
recommendations for cabling
◦ The standard recommends running a can 5e/6
between the active elements of the system to
“accommodate a large variety of climate control
options”.
23
Multi-Dwelling & Campus Infrastructures
Multi-dwelling buildings may have a single services
demarcation and redistribute the service to the
individual dwellings.

24
Distances
The Entrance Facility should be connected to a
separate common Equipment Room. This room
should permit shared access for services and for the
building management’s services.
If the distance from the ER to the furthest dwelling is
more than 150 meters the service provider should be
advised.
Limitations between the DD an outlets in the dwelling
are limited to a maximum of 90 meters.
25
Larger Multi-Dwelling & Campus Infrastructures
If there are a large number of floors or units a CTR,
or Common Telecommunications Room, should be
located on each floor or on each 3rd floor.

Campus Telecommunication Requirements
Campus environments may consist of separate
buildings.
Interconnecting backbones should be contained
within conduit, aerially or within
interconnecting tunnels.
Building entrance protection must be
implemented where required
27
Backbone Cabling
Multi-conductor copper
Multi-pair 100Ω UTP
Series 6 & 11 coax (RG6 triple and quad shield
and RG11)
Series 59 coax (CCTV only)
Other coaxial (“hardline”)
Fiber Optics (50 & 62.5MM, SM)
28
Telecommunications Outlet
Telephone outlet with mounting studs
permitted
8 position mod jacks that meet the 568
standards (may be used with 6 pos plugs)
Coax F connectors
Recommendation is that patch cords be factory
made.
29
Other Issues
All firestop requirements must be followed
Secondary protection must be installed
Grounding must be implemented
30
Electromagnetic Noise
Data communications cable must be run with at least 2 inches
of separation from a parallel power cable within a wall and 6
inches of separation from cables going to active security devices.
Security cable must maintain at least 6 inches of separation
from power cables.
Audio cable should have at least 12 inches of separation from
data communication cable
Typically 12” of separation is recommended in all cases.
31
Testing and Administration
Testing should follow the 568C standards
Administration should follow the 606B
standards.
Pathways planning should follow the 569B
standard.
32
Conclusion
The 570B standard addresses small installations
and installations for residential units. These
installations typically make use of a greater
variety of communication requirements.
The standard relies on other standards for
administration, testing, cable performance and
documentation.
