This document relates to EN 50288 1, Multi-element metallic cables used in analogue and digital communication and control.
It covers overall screened work area cables, characterized up to 2GHz, backward compatible to cables specified up to 500MHz, used in work area wiring for information technology, generic-cabling systems.
The electrical, mechanical, transmission and environmental performance characteristics of the cables, related to their reference test methods, are detailed.
This sectional specification is expected to be read in conjunction with EN 50288 1, which contains the essential provisions for its application.
The cables covered by 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.
NOTE: If the word "harmonized" (marked in green) is not found in the field with the name of the directive, it means that the European standard is not cited in the OJEU.
Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
