EIA 41.8 is not related to a power line bus standard.  It covers wiring for
telecommunications (primarily twisted-pair and fiber, it touches on coax
for baseband and broadband).  It does not cover power wiring.  It defines
a wiring plant to support a number of telecommunications services.  It does
not define the services.
