Multi-element metallic cables used in analogue and digital communication and control - Part 10-2: Sectional specification for screened cables characterized from 1 MHz up to 500 MHz - Horizontal and building backbone cables

EN 50288-10-1 is a sectional specification for screened cables, characterised from 1 MHz up to 500 MHz, to be as work area cables to connect a telecommunications outlet to the terminal equipment and for patch cord cables to establish connections on a patch panel as defined in EN 50173. Work area and data centres cables may also be used as patch cord cables in any distributor of a generic building wiring system to interconnect with equipment or to cross-connect between cabling systems.
This sectional specification contains 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 is to be read in conjunction with EN 50288-1, which contains the essential provisions for its application.
The cables covered in this sectional specification are intended to operate with voltages and currents normally encountered in communications systems. These cables are not intended to be used in conjunction with low impedance sources, for example the electrical power supplies of public utility mains.

Standard EN 50288-10-1 je področna specifikacija za zaslonjene kable, ki se lahko uporabljajo za pasovne širine od 1 MHz do 500 MHz kot kabli na delovnem območju za povezavo telekomunikacijske vtičnice s terminalsko opremo, ter za povezovalne vrvice za vzpostavljanje povezav na povezovalni plošči, kot je določeno v standardu EN 50173. Kabli delovnega območja in podatkovnih centrov se lahko uporabljajo tudi kot povezovalne vrvice v katerem koli razdelilniku generičnega stavbnega sistema ožičenja za povezavo z opremo ali navzkrižno povezavo med kabelskimi sistemi.
Ta področna specifikacija vsebuje električne, mehanske, prenosne in okoljske karakteristike delovanja ter zahteve za kable pri preskušanju v skladu z navedenimi preskusnimi metodami.
Ta področna specifikacija se uporablja skupaj s standardom EN 50288-1, ki vsebuje bistvene določbe za njeno uporabo.
Kabli, zajeti v tej področni specifikaciji, so namenjeni za delovanje pri napetostih in tokovih, ki so običajni v komunikacijskih sistemih. Ti kabli niso namenjeni za uporabo z viri z nizko impedanco, na primer z električnim napajanjem javnih omrežij.

1 Scope
This sectional specification covers screened cables, characterised from 1 MHz up to 500 MHz, to be used to
construct cords for use in cabling specified in the EN 50173 series of standards.
The premises-specific cabling standards of the EN 50173 series reference the D1 requirements of this
specification for the cable used within cords of the “reference implementations” of those standards. The
alternative D2 requirements of this specification may be used to produce cords for other implementations and
applications including the direct connection of equipment in data centres.
This sectional specification contains 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 is to be read in conjunction with EN 50288-1, which contains the essential
provisions for its application.
The cables covered in this sectional specification are intended to operate with voltages and currents normally
encountered in communications systems. These cables are not intended to be used in conjunction with low
impedance sources, for example the electrical power supplies of public utility mains.
