Cables for indoor residential telecommunication installations - Part 2: Screened cables - Grade 2

These cables are for installation in indoor Residential Cabling Systems. They are specified up to 100 MHz. Their design is based on the requirements of the EN 50290 2-1. They are specifically designed for cabling in residential environment supporting ICT and BCT applications. (Telephone, Computer and TV services). This specification defines the constructional details as well as the specific performances of the cables. Unless otherwise specified, all cables covered by this standard may be subjected to voltages not more than 300 V a.c. or 450 V d.c. and shall meet the essential requirements of the low voltage directive. Due to current limitation related to the conductor cross sectional area, they are not intended for direct connection to mains electricity supply. The maximum current rating per conductor is less than or equal to 3 A/mm² unless otherwise specified in the relevant detail specification.

Innenkabel für Telekommunikationseinrichtungen im Wohnbereich - Teil 2: Geschirmte Innenkabel - Klasse 2

Die, in dieser Europäischen Norm beschriebenen Kabel sind als Innenkabel im Wohnbereich vorgesehen. Sie sind bis 100 MHz spezifiziert. Ihre Gestaltung basiert auf den Anforderungen der EN 50290-2-1. Sie sind speziell ausgelegt für Verkabelungen in Wohnbereichen für ICT (Information and Communications Technology) und BCT (Broadband Communication Technology) Anwendungen. (Telefon-, Computer- und TV-Dienstleistungen). Diese Spezifikation definiert die konstruktiven Einzelheiten sowie die speziellen Anforderungen an die Kabel. Wenn nicht anders festgelegt, dürfen alle in dieser Norm beschriebenen Kabel mit nicht mehr als 300 V Wechselspannung bzw. mit nicht mehr als 450 V Gleichspannung betrieben werden. Die Kabel müssen die wesentlichen Anforderungen der Niederspannungsrichtlinie einhalten. Durch die Strombegrenzung der Querschnitte der Stecker sind diese Kabel nicht für den direkten Anschluss an die Netzspannung vorgesehen. Die maximale Stromrate pro Stecker ist kleiner oder gleich 3 A/mm2, wenn in der entsprechenden Bauartspezifikation nicht anders festgelegt.

Câbles pour les installations résidentielles de télécommunications en intérieur - Partie 2: Câbles écrantés - Classe 2

Ces câbles sont destinés à l’installation dans les systèmes de câblage résidentiels intérieurs. Ils sont spécifiés jusqu’à 100 MHz. Leur conception repose sur les exigences de la EN 50290-2-1. Ils sont spécifiquement conçus pour le câblage en environnement résidentiel supportant les applications des technologies de l’information et de la communication (ICT: Information and Communication Technologies) et des technologies de la radiodiffusion et de la communication (BCT: Broadcast and Communication Technologies) (téléphone, ordinateur et services liés à la télévision). Cette spécification définit les détails de construction ainsi que les performances spécifiques des câbles. Sauf spécification contraire, tous les câbles couverts par la présente norme peuvent être soumis à des tensions inférieures ou égales à 300 V en courant alternatif ou 450 V en courant continu et doivent remplir les exigences essentielles de la directive basse tension. En raison de la limitation de courant liée à la section transversale des conducteurs, ils ne sont pas destinés à une connexion directe à l’alimentation électrique sur le réseau. La caractéristique nominale du courant maximal par conducteur est inférieure ou égale à 3 A/mm² sauf spécification contraire de la spécification particulière correspondante.
