CEA CEA-600.32 Document Information:
Title
Twisted Pair Physical Layer and Medium Specification
Consumer Electronics Association
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 1998
Scope:
This specification contains all the information necessary to
facilitate the exchange of data and control information over
twisted pair media within a home. The document is divided into six
Sections (1 - 6):
An introduction to the TP standard.
A general description of the TP network design.
The specifications of the allowed topology and configuration
rules - this section covers network components, allowed wiring
configurations, coexistence with other services, configuration of
the wiring and attachment of devices, and power distribution
rules.
A specification of the TP physical medium - this section covers
frequency allocation of the medium, channelization, the physical
and electrical specification of the medium, connectors,
environmental requirements, and installation considerations.
The physical layer specifications of a TP device - covers the
interface to the higher ISO layers, control channel signal
characteristics, data channel signal criteria, encoding,
transmitter and receiver characteristics, and device failure
modes.
The Node-0 requirements for support of the TP network - covers
the Node-0 requirements for successful network operation including
power supply and signal bridging criteria.
The standard establishes a minimal set of rules for compliance.
It does not rule out extended services to be provided, since the
rules are adhered to within the system. It is in fact the intention
of the standard to permit extended services (defined by users) to
coexist.
Certain aspects of the standard are defined in other documents.
These documents will be referenced when relevant. In the case where
a referenced standard conflicts with this document, this document
will prevail.
