IEC/SC 46C - Wires and symmetric cables
To establish and maintain standards for wires and symmetric cable pairs and quads for analogue and digital transmission systems and equipment for communication and signalling. These standards may include the following: - general cable construction, - electrical characteristics, - transmission characteristics, - mechanical characteristics, - environmental characteristics, - related test methods and requirements, - quality assessment procedures.
Câbles symétriques et fils
Préparer et tenir à jour des normes applicables aux fils et aux câbles symétriques en paires ou quartes utilisables dans les réseaux de transmission analogiques et numériques comme dans les équipements de communication et de signalisation. Ces normes pouvant porter sur : - la construction générale des câbles, - les caractéristiques électriques, - les caractéristiques de transmission, - les caractéristiques mécaniques, - les caractéristiques relatives à l'environnement, - les méthodes et les prescriptions relatives aux essais, - les procédures d'assurance qualité.

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 Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
