45、ORD (This foreword is not considered part of this Standard) This Standard was developed by TIA Subcommittee TR-42.16. Approval of this Standard This Standard was approved by TIA Subcommittee TR-42.16, TIA Engineering Committee TR-42, and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI/TIA rev

46、iews standards every 5 years. At that time, standards are reaffirmed, withdrawn, or revised according to the submitted updates. Updates to be included in the next revision should be sent to the committee chair or to ANSI/TIA. Contributing organizations More than 60 organizations within the telecommu

47、nications industry (including manufacturers, consultants, end users, and other organizations) contributed their expertise to the development of this Standard. Documents superseded This Standard supersedes ANSI/TIA-607-B dated September, 2011, and its addenda. Significant technical changes from the p

48、revious edition Significant changes from the previous edition include: The contents of Addendum 1 (external grounding) and Addendum 2 (structural metal) were incorporated. References were updated. Terms were changed to harmonize with ISO/IEC 30129 (see annex E). Illustrative example added for single

49、 story large building. Recommendations for bonding connections for separately derived systems added. Added component and design requirements for rack bonding busbars. Added minimum bend radius and included angle requirements for bonding conductors. Clarified that a backbone bonding conductors needs to be, at a minimum, the same size as the largest telecommunications bonding backbone to which it is connected. Expanded the list of conductors that are required to green and clarified that th
