However, standardization of infrastructure is critical. The university established its first wiring standard in 1990, revised this standard for Category 5 cabling in 1994, and is developing its third standard for implementation in 2000. While the standard does not change every time a new cable or connector arrives on the market, there are always three standards in use at any one time, the previous standard, the current standard, and the standard under development. The buildings wired to the previous are rewired to the developing standard. The process repeats every few years.
