Which standards document describes the performance parameters for CEBus control devices?
A. HPNA 1.0
B. ANSI/TIA/EIA 570-A
C. EIA 600
D. ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B
Answer C is correct. The CEBus standard adopted by the EIA as EIA 600 is a protocol specification to support the interconnection and interoperation of consumer products in a home. The CEBus standard's power-line carrier technology uses the home's 120v, 60Hz electrical wiring to transport messages between household devices. CEBus is an acronym for consumer electronics bus. Answer A is incorrect because HPNA 1.0 is the earlier specification for a home phone-line networking protocol adopted by the Home Phone Network Alliance. Answer B is incorrect because the ANSI/TIA/EIA 570-A is the Residential Telecommunications Cabling Standard and is not associated with the CEBus EIA 600 standard. Answer D is incorrect because the ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-A is the Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard and is not associated with the CEBus standard.
