Part 1 of EN 50289 consists of the following documents:
– Part 1-1 General requirements
– Part 1-2 DC resistance
– Part 1-3 Dielectric strength
– Part 1-4 Insulation resistance
– Part 1-5 Capacitance
– Part 1-6 Electromagnetic performance
– Part 1-7 Velocity of propagation
– Part 1-8 Attenuation
– Part 1-9 Unbalance attenuation (Longitudinal conversation loss, longitudinal conversion transfer loss)
– Part 1-10 Crosstalk
– Part 1-11 Characteristic impedance, input impedance, return loss
– Part 1-12 Inductance
– Part 1-13 Power rating
Further test details (e.g. temperature, duration) and/or test requirements are given in the relevant cable standard.
