SynC · Topic
These are the standards in the SynC Standards library that cover Telecommunications. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide — ratings, materials, setpoints, and the standards each is verified against. All of it is free to read without an account and published under CC BY-SA 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Exterior underground wet and dry site utilities for commercial, institutional, and industrial building projects, beginning 5 feet outside the building footprint and extending to the point of connection at the public main, meter, or utility owner's facility. Covers the site domestic and fire water service and on-site water distribution (ductile iron and PVC pressure pipe, valves, hydrants, service fittings, thrust restraint), the site sanitary sewer (gravity collection mains and laterals, and pressurized force mains and low-pressure sewer), and the underground dry-utility infrastructure for electrical and telecommunications service (direct-buried and concrete-encased duct banks, conduit, and manholes/handholes). Also covers the common trenching, bedding, embedment, backfill, separation, tracer-wire and marking-tape locating, pressure and leakage testing, deflection and air testing, and water-main disinfection that apply across these systems.
Customer-premises telecommunications bonding and grounding for commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings per ANSI/TIA-607-E. Covers the Primary Bonding Busbar (PBB), Secondary Bonding Busbar (SBB), Telecommunications Bonding Backbone (TBB), Telecommunications Equipment Bonding Conductor (TEBC), rack and cabinet bonding busbars and jumpers (RBB/RBJ), bonding grids in equipment rooms, shielded cable plant grounding, surge protection for telecommunications circuits, and grounding of metallic cable shields and outside-plant entrance cables. Coordinates with the building electrical grounding electrode system at the point of connection only.
