Thanks for your answers.

As I mentionned in my query we already have a banana plug connector installed
on our equipments and we do mark the equipment and have instructions included
in the installation/maintenance guide.

The question I was asked was regarding the type of connector to provide.  The
mechanical designers were asking if it was okay to continue using banana plug
connectors or if another type of connector was more "preferred" in the industry.
I have looked in TA-TSY-00078 an ancestor of GR-78 (still waiting for my copy of
that one) as well as GR-1089 but I found only testing requirements in these.
I also looked at the site pointed to me by Douglas Smith and found nothing
requesting or indicating a preference for wriststrap connector type (20.20
standard only mandated the use of a wriststrap).

Thus looking at your answers it does seem that there is no such thing as a
"industry standard" or "industry preferred" type of wriststap connector to be
installed on an ITE equipment used in a telecom environment (COs, CPEs...).
