Sectional specification for work area wiring cables with a common overall screen for use in digital communication EN 50168:1994

Scope

This standard refers to HD 608 S1:1992, Generic specification for symmetrical pair/quad or multicore cables for digital communications. It covers individually screened pair(s) or quad(s) in cables for work area wiring. The cables shall be provided with a common overall screen. These cables are suitable for different communication systems to which reference is made in detail specifications. The cables covered by this specification are intended to operate with voltages and currents normally adopted for communication systems. These cables shall not be connected to low impedance sources, for example, the public mains electricity supply. The cables specified in this standard shall meet the requirements of the Generic Specification. This sectional specification may be supplemented with specific specifications given additional information if required by a particular application (e.g. regarding safety and reliability conditions)
