| Requirements

- Horizontal optical fiber cabling at the work area outlet shall be terminated to a duplex optical fiber outlet/connector meeting the requirements of ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.3.

Recommendations

- To facilitate inter-office moves, consider the use of one style of duplex connector for the work area outlet.
- The 568SC connector was previously specified by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and should continue to be considered for the work area outlet.
- Other connector styles, including those of a small form factor (SFF), may also be considered.

Requirements

Work area cords (all media types)

- The maximum work area cable (cord) length shall not exceed 5 m (16 ft).
