1 Scope
This part of EN 50117 which is a sectional specification applies to coaxial indoor drop cables for
analogue and digital one and two way signal transmission, e.g. for cable networks for television
signals, sound signals and interactive services in accordance with EN 60728-1, EN 60728-1-1,
EN 60728-101, EN 60728-10, EN 50173-1 and EN 50173-4. This includes also the transmission of
BCT signals provided by a CATV, MATV or SMATV cable network.
The purpose of this document is to specify the applicable test methods and requirements for the
electrical, mechanical and environmental characteristics and for fire performance of the cables.

4 Requirements for cable construction and design
4.1 General
Cables according to this standard are designed for an operating temperature range from -40 °C to
1
+70 °C and at frequencies between 5 MHz and 1 000 MHz.
When designing the cable, consideration should be given to the maximum admissible current
stated in the detail specification. It is assumed that the raise of temperature of the inner conductor
———————
1 This value is valid for applications without ampacity only, see also Table A.1 concerning max. DC current.

when submitted to the maximum current under nominal ambient conditions does not affect the
mechanical and electrical properties of the cable.
Cables according to this standard may be operated at voltages > 50 V AC or >75 V DC according
to the detail specification of the manufacturer. However, these cables are not intended for direct
connection to the mains electricity supply or other low impedance sources.
Cables according to this standard shall be designed according to EN 50290-2-1, Communication
cables Part 2-1: Common design rules and construction. They shall be used according to
EN 50290-4-1, Communication cables - Part 4-1: General considerations for the use of cables -
Environmental conditions and safety aspects.
The use of cables according to this standard including delivery, storage and installation shall be in
accordance with EN 50290-4-2, Communication cables - Part 4-2: General considerations for the
use of cables - Guide to use, unless otherwise specified.
Cables according to this standard shall be tested for voltage withstanding. The test is performed
between conductors and between the conductors or screen and the outer surface of the sheath.
When constructed in accordance with EN 50290-2-1 and EN 50117-1 and submitted to spark
testing, CATV cables according to this standard may be installed together with Low Voltage cables.
All cables covered by this standard do not fall under the scope of the RED or the EMC directive.
Nevertheless, transfer impedance and screening attenuation according to 5.1.3.6 and 5.1.3.7 shall
be specified in the relevant detail specification, if the intended application of the cable is the use in
