CLC/TC 215/WG 01 - Customer premises cabling

This document specifies systems and methods for the inspection and testing of installed optical fibre cabling designed in accordance with premises cabling standards including the EN 50173 series. The test methods refer to existing standards-based procedures where they exist.

This document specifies 1-pair cabling and can be used in conjunction with all the space-specific standards of the EN 50173 series but especially EN 50173-3 and EN 50173-6. NOTE 1-pair cabling for EN 50173-2, EN 50173-4 and EN 50173-5 is for further study. It delivers 1-pair cabling specifications to extend generic cabling systems according to the EN 50173 series. This document specifies the: - structure and minimum configuration for extension of generic cabling by 1-pair cabling; - interfaces at the service outlet (SO/TO); - performance requirements for cabling links and channels; - implementation requirements and options; - performance requirements for cabling components; - conformance requirements and verification procedures. This document takes into account the requirements specified in application standards listed in Annex C.
