IEC/TC 46 - Cables, wires, waveguides, RF connectors, RF and microwave passive components and accessories
To establish and maintain standards for the terminology, design, characteristics, related test methods and requirements for quality assessment of metallic conductors, wires, waveguide, RF connectors, RF and microwave passive components and accessories for analogue and digital transmission systems and equipment for communication networks and cabling. Note: Magnetic components and ferrite devices covered by the scope of TC 51 will not be dealt with by this technical committee.
Câbles, fils, guides d'ondes, connecteurs, composants passifs pour micro-onde et accessoires
Etablir et entretenir des normes pour les câbles ayant des conducteurs métalliques, les fils, les guides d'ondes, les connecteurs pour fréquences radioélectriques et leurs accessoires destinés aux systèmes et équipement de transmis-sion analogique et numérique pour les communications et la signalisation. Lorsque nécessaire, les travaux du CE 46 et de l'UIT seront coordonnés. Note: Les normes des câbles destinés à être utilisés dans les réseaux publics de télécommunication seront harmonisées avec les recommandations TSB relatives aux câbles métalliques.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
