The scope of this European Standard is to help installers and cabling designers to understand the range of communication metallic cables available. To help this choice the fundamental and practical rules on how to use these cables are established.
The related cables are specified in the documents issued by CLC/TC 46X and its sub-committees.
These cables are:
-
telecom cables used in access network,
-
data communication twisted pairs cables,
-
coaxial cables used in CATV.
