    TIA-942 is being revised as TIA-942-A to improve usability and consistency with other TIA standards. Key anticipated changes include referencing the common standard TIA-568-C for generic requirements, moving some content to other standards, expanding topology definitions to support larger data centers, recognizing OM3 and OM4 fiber cabling, and recommending Category 6A cabling. The revision also aims to improve energy efficiency with new guidance on cooling efficiencies, power monitoring, and airflow management.

    TIA 942 (-A) Data Centers

    Greg Niemiera, RCDD Director Technical Support and Field Services Mohawk

    Agenda
    ANSI/TIA-942 Background Standards Restructuring Anticipated Changes Addendums ISO/IEC 24764 Influence I fl New Content

    Background
    ANSI - American National Standards Institute
    Publishes TIA and IEEE All TIA documents d t on a 5 year revision cycle

    TIA - Telecommunication T l i ti Industry Association ANSI/TIA-942 (2005)


    Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers

    Revised document TIA-942-A Restructured R t t d and d harmonized h i d with current TIA-568-C Common information applying to multiple types of premise applications is in a common standard i.e. 568-C.0 Information for specific premises are in standards like p TIA-942 for Data Centers

    Restructuring of TIA Standards

    Restructuring of TIA Standards


    568-C contains:
    C Component requirements intended primarily for vendors Installed Permanent Link and Channel requirements for contractors/installers t t /i t ll Change was to improve:
    Ease of use Efficiency Consistency between standards

    Addendums
    Addendums are requirements added to a standard between revisions When the document is revised the addendums are incorporated Most standards have addendums associated with them For example Category 6A was issued as Addendum 10 to the 568 568-B B document, (568 (568B.2.10)

    Open Architecture
    This standard specifies a generic t l telecommunications i ti cabling bli system t f th for the data center and related facilities whose primary function is information technology. technology page ix Purpose Mohawks Freedom of Choice program with ChannelMATE warranty supports the intent of this and other related TIA standards

    TIA Standard Scheme

    942-A 942 A Anticipated Changes


    Reference:
    Generic Telecommunications topology Terms Environmental classifications per 568-C.O

    TIA-942 is a now premise p y for Data standard specifically Center environments

    Organizational Changes
    Content for Bonding and Grounding will be moved to 607 (currently draft B) Content regarding Labeling will be moved to 606-A Addendum 1 (revised 2008)
    Covers specifics p for:
    Computer Rooms Equipment Rooms

    Organizational g Changes g
    Rack and Cabinets content will move to TIA-569 as these are generic to all premises Power and Telecommunications cabling separation in TIA-569 Outside Plant to draft TIA-758 OSP Standard

    Expanded Topology
    Large Data Centers include
    Main M i Di Distribution t ib ti Area A (MDA) Intermediate Distribution Area (IDA) Horizontal Distribution Area (HDA) Optional Zone Distribution Area (ZDA)

    Contains 2nd level backbone distributor


    IC Intermediated Crossconnect

    Topology p gy
    Large facilities may contain multiple computer rooms Each may y contain multiple p IDAs acting as central point of administration Allowance for reduced data center topology consolidates MDA and HAD into single MDA

    942 Addenda
    TIA 942-1 Coax Cabling g 2008 Specifies requirements for (734 and 735 DS75-ohm ( 3/DS-4 type) coaxial cabling Additional requirements: q

    Coax connector components for T-3, E-1 and E-3 Longer distances from MDA Revised distance guidelines for T 1 T-3, T-1, T 3 E-1 E 1 and E-3 E3

    Horizontal Fiber cabling distances applications dependent i.e. 568-C.0 Harmonization H i ti TIA and d ISO Liaison's between the standards bodies Harmonization is ideal but not always achievable ISO/IEC 24764 TIA-942 TIA 942 D. C. ISO/IEC 11801 TIA 568-C

    ISO/IEC 24764 Influence


    Fiber
    Specifies minimum OM3 50/125 micron 850 nm Laser Optimized p

    Connectors MM and SM

    Major Copper Changes


    Category 3 and 5e no longer recognized for horizontal Minimum of Category g y6 Category 6A recommended

    ISO/IEC 24764 Influence


    Balanced twisted pair cabling Specifies Class EA Cabling
    Category 6A Exception network access

    942-A will recommend 6A

    942-A New Section Content


    Energy efficiency Section Data Centers consume large amounts of energy, with the majority being converted to heat Estimated that cooling is 30% of a data centers energy load Cooling process itself is not efficient resulting i an oversupply in l of f cold ld air i t to compensate t for f inefficiencies Recent study y showed that the amount of cold air supplied is 2.6 times the amount actually consumed by the IT load 10% Even though rooms are oversupplied (2.6) ~10% of enclosures exceed ASHRE limits

    Cooling Efficiencies
    Cabinets with isolated air-supply or isolated air-return Cabinets with in-cabinet cooling systems Cable openings utilizing grommets or brushes in the enclosure (system) Blanking panels in open empty rack positions Hot-aisle or cold aisle containment systems Cabinets that minimize air bypass through the space between equipment rails and cabinet sides Fill/consoladate unused cabinet rack positions

    Energy Efficiency
    Utilize a cooling system that allows you to t regulate l t the th volume l of f air i as needed Equipment with non non-standard standard airflow may require specially designed enclosures to avoid air flow disruption Cabling Overhead improves cooling efficiency and is a best practice where practical verses under floor
    Top of rack switching architectures

    Energy Efficiency
    Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Power strips to measure and monitor power levels to ensure enclosures dont don t exceeded power and required cooling levels
    These SNMP software tools provide the ability analyze power cooling metrics such as Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Data Center infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) Metrics used to determine energy efficiency of a data center

    Summary
    Work is being done in TR-42.1 subcommittee These are proposed changes being considered to TIA-942-A Some of these may not make the final TIA 942-A 942 A document There may possibly be other changes included that we have not reviewed Optimistically p y 942-A p published late 2011
