Multi-element metallic cables used in analogue and digital communication and control - Part 1: Generic specification
When used together with EN 50290 and EN 50289, this European Standard covers cables for instrumentation, inter-connection of equipment and information technology cabling applications. Cables for information technology cabling systems, covered by this and the sectional specification standards in the EN 50288 series are suitable for use in digital and analogue data systems meeting the requirements, for example, of EN 50090-2-1, EN 50090-3-1, EN 50098-1, EN 50098-2 and EN 50173. Unless otherwise specified, all cables covered by this standard may be subjected to voltages greater than 50 V a.c or 75 V d.c. but 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 as stipulated in Table B.1 unless otherwise specified in the relevant sectional specification. IDCs are only designed for copper or metal coated copper. Cabling elements as defined in 4.3 of this standard may be incorporated in hybrid construction cables together with coaxial or optical fibre cabling elements.

Les câbles pour les systèmes de câblage propres aux technologies de l'information qui sont couverts par la présente norme ainsi que les normes de spécifications intermédiaires de la série EN 50288 sont adaptés pour une utilisation dans les systèmes de transmission de données numériques et analogiques conformes aux exigences, par exemple, des EN 50090-2-1, EN 50090-3-1, EN 50098-1, EN 50098-2 et EN 50173.
Sauf indication contraire, tous les câbles couverts par la présente norme européenne sont soumis à des tensions supérieures à 50 V c.a. ou 75 V c.c. mais sans dépasser 300 V c.a. ou 450 V c.c., et ils doivent répondre aux exigences essentielles de la Directive Basse Tension. Ils ne sont pas destinés à être utilisés pour une connexion directe au réseau d'alimentation électrique en raison du courant limité lié à la section des conducteurs. Le courant maximal assigné par conducteur est celle stipulée dans le Tableau B.1, sauf spécification contraire de la spécification particulière correspondante. Les IDC sont uniquement conçus pour les conducteurs en cuivre ou en métal cuivré.

Overview
EN 50288-1:2013 (CLC) is the Part 1 generic specification of the EN 50288 series for multi-element metallic cables used in analogue and digital communication and control. Intended to be used together with EN 50290 and EN 50289, this European Standard defines fundamental construction, identification, screening, filling, and testing requirements for cables used in instrumentation, equipment interconnection and information technology cabling systems. It also aligns with Low Voltage Directive requirements for voltages above 50 V a.c. (75 V d.c.) up to limits specified in the standard.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and application: Covers instrumentation, building/campus backbone, horizontal, work‑area, patch‑cord and equipment cables for analogue and digital data systems. Not intended for direct mains connection due to conductor current limitations.
- Conductors: Solid or stranded copper (plain or metal‑coated) per IEC 60028. Stranded conductors intended for IDC use are typically limited to a maximum of seven strands; jointing rules and conductor diameters are specified or to be agreed in sectional specs.
- Insulation: Materials chosen for electrical and environmental performance, complying with EN 50290-2 and EN 60811 test methods; may be solid, cellular or composite (foam‑skin). Stripping and thickness test methods are referenced.
- Cable elements: Definitions and construction for single wires, pairs, triples and quads (designation and lay order), and recommendations on lay length for transmission and handling.
- Identification & screening: Colour coding per HD 402 S2, durable marking tests, and screening options (metal tape, laminated tape, braid, helical wrap, semi‑conducting layers). Drain wires, galvanic considerations and protective wrappings are covered.
- Fillers and barriers: Non‑hygroscopic fillers, water‑blocking compounds or swellable tapes/powders for moisture protection, and optional moisture barriers and oversheaths.
- Testing: Requirements for electrical, mechanical, environmental and fire performance test methods (referenced EN 50289 series).
- Classification aids: Includes MICE table for environmental classification and re‑classification of ELFEXT to ACR‑F.

Conductors are to be solid or stranded copper as specified in the relevant EN 50288 sectional
specification.
The conductivity of copper conductors shall be in accordance with IEC 60028.
Stranded conductors shall consist of wires circular in section and assembled, without
insulation between them, by concentric stranding or bunching. As most of these cables are
used together with insulation displacement connecting devices (IDC), a maximum of seven
strands should be used.
The solid conductors or the individual wires of stranded conductor may be plain or metal-
coated.
There shall be no joint in the wire made subsequent to the last wire drawing operation.
Joints in individual strands of a stranded copper inner conductor shall be cold pressure welded,
brazed or silver soldered using a non acid flux such that the strand diameter shall not be increased.
No joint in an individual strand shall be within 0,3 m of a joint in any other individual strand.
The nominal conductor diameter is given in the relevant sectional specification. Other
diameters or stranded conductors are to be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser and
specified in Annex B of the relevant sectional specification.
