TIA-570 (Residential Telecommunications Cabling Standard)

TIA-570 is a technical standard that outlines best practices and guidelines for installing and managing residential telecommunications wiring. It ensures that home networks—such as internet, phone, and cable TV connections—are organized, reliable, and safe. The standard covers the types of cables used, their proper placement, and how connections should be made to minimize interference and support future upgrades. Essentially, TIA-570 helps homeowners, builders, and technicians create a well-designed wiring system that enhances the performance and flexibility of a residential communications infrastructure.
