We recently had the opportunity to interview Cindy Montstream, who holds several positions within the Telecommunications Industry Association’s (TIA) TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems Engineering Committee. One of those positions is Vice Chair of the TR-42.1 Subcommittee that currently is working to consolidate 3 cabling standards into 1. Watch this in-depth discussion in which Cindy explains why the TIA decided to initiate this project; the practical impacts of the consolidation on cabling system designers, installers, and users; the TIA’s anticipated timeline for the project’s progress; and more.
