Amend 8 , 9 , 10 and 11 paragraphs to read
Additional balanced cables (for ICT and/or BCT applications), coaxial cables (for BCT applications) or
optical fibre cables should be provided as defined by
- the number and mix of applications (e.g. satellite feed, multi-cable feed of CATV, in-house
generated video);
NOTE Some applications, such as direct satellite feeds, use frequencies above 1 000 MHz that are only supported by the
higher bandwidth BCT-C channels.
- the number of application outlets to be served.
For metallic cabling supporting both ICT and BCT channels, the application outlet is termed the
MATO. A MATO may also be used to support CCCB applications where appropriate, see
EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F.
For balanced cabling supporting ICT channels only, the application outlet is termed the TO and uses
connecting hardware specified in 9.2. A TO may also be used to support BCT and CCCB applications
where appropriate, see EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F.
For balanced or coaxial cabling supporting BCT channels only, the application outlet is termed the BO
and uses connecting hardware specified in 9.3. A BO using balanced BCT-B cabling may also be
used to support ICT and CCCB applications where appropriate, see EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F.
th
Insert the following after 11 paragraph:
For optical channels supporting either ICT or BCT channels, the application outlet is termed an optical
TO/BO and terminates a minimum of one cable containing two optical fibres in accordance with
6.3.3.2 using connecting hardware as specified in 9.5.
Insert a new subclause 4.7.5.5:
4.7.5.5 Optical TO/BO
The optical TO/BO shall be located in readily accessible locations in the room, depending on the
design of the building and subject to the requirements of national and local regulations.
Each optical TO/BO shall be terminated in accordance with 9.5.
