Scope

This European Standard harmonises the standardisation of symmetrical, coaxial and optical cables used for the infrastructure of communication, multimedia and control networks. Most of the cables covered by this European Standard are primarily intended to be used in IT networks. However, they can also be used for other applications with the exception of those which presume a direct connection to the mains electricity supply. EN 50290-2-1 gives the common rules for the design and construction of symmetrical, coaxial and optical cables used for the infrastructure of communication and control networks. It is to be used in conjunction with EN 50290-1-1 and is completed by generic, sectional, family and detail specifications, as appropriate, to describe in a detailed manner each type of cable with its specific characteristics.
