REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
•Token ring signals should not be routed through copper cables that exit a building or which are adjacent to cables either exiting a building or exposed to lightning strikes and power surges.
•UTP cables that contain token ring signals should not be simultaneously used for applications which may impress high voltages (greater that 5 volts) with sharp rise or fall times, since the noise coupling from such signals could directly cause errors on the token ring network.
•For single telecommunications closet rings, lobe lengths should not exceed 100 meters or 22 to 24 AWG wire from the attaching device and the TCU port.
•When possible, use dedicated UTP cable for token ring signals.
