Information technology - Generic cabling systems - Part 99-3: Home cabling infrastructures up to 50 m in length to support simultaneous and non simultaneous provision of applications

Scope

This draft Technical Report describes a grading system applicable to telecommunications cabling within homes which provides a range of implementation solutions to support both non-simultaneous and simultaneous provision of applications incorporating: a) a cabling structure in accordance with, but less complex than that of, EN 50173-4 and with defined connecting hardware pin assignment for certain applications; b) components meeting or exceeding the requirements of EN 50173-4; c) shorter cabling channels than those specified in EN 50173-4. Safety (electrical safety and protection, optical power, fire, etc.) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of this Technical Report and are covered by standards and regulations. However information given in this Technical Report may be of assistance in meeting these standards and regulations.
