There is much discussion about the feasibility of implementing structured cabling systems with Category 7 or Category 7A (ISO 11801) cables and components. For example, the organization's technology projections, such as 40-Gigabit Ethernet or 100-Gigabit Ethernet, are evaluated, along with the costs this implementation would entail for the MACs, etc.
The College of Engineers of Peru – Electronic Engineering Chapter is organizing a Structured Cabling Course, which will be held at its headquarters in San Isidro in June. More details are available at http://www.cdlctic.com/index.html

I'm sharing with you an article from a specialized journal about the progress in the development of the TIA-942-A standard. It's in English, but I think it will be very useful. Among the points mentioned are: Harmonization of terminology with the TIA-568C series of standards, and the content related to grounding and bonding.
The Peruvian National Building Code, in Standard EM020, refers to structured cabling and, in Article 7, indicates that international standards for structured cabling projects in buildings (hospitals, commercial buildings, schools, universities, etc.) should be used when necessary.
