Multi-element metallic cables used in analogue and digital communication and control - Part 9-1: Sectional specification for screened cables characterised up to 1 000 MHz - Horizontal and building backbone cables; German version EN 50288-9-1:2012
Mehradrige metallische Daten- und Kontrollkabel für analoge und digitale Übertragung - Teil 9-1: Rahmenspezifikation für geschirmte Kabel bis 1 000 MHz - Kabel für den Horizontal- und Steigbereich; Deutsche Fassung EN 50288-9-1:2012
Overview
EN 50288-9-1 is a sectional specification for screened cables, characterised from 1 MHz up to 1 000 MHz, to be used in horizontal and building backbone wiring for information technology generic-cabling systems. This sectional specification describes the electrical, mechanical, transmission and environmental performance characteristics and requirements of the cables when tested in accordance with the referenced test methods. This sectional specification should be read in conjunction with EN 50288-1 which contains the essential provisions for its application. The cables described in this sectional specification are intended to operate with voltages and currents normally encountered in communication systems. These cables are not intended to be used in conjunction with low impedance sources, for example, the electric power supplies of public utility mains. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 412.1 "Symmetrische Kabel und Leitungen, Drähte" ("Symmetric cables and conductors, wires") the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
