Scope

IEC 61935-1:2009(E) specifies reference measurement procedures for cabling parameters and the requirements for field tester accuracy to measure cabling parameters identified in ISO/IEC 11801. References in this standard to ISO/IEC 11801 mean ISO/IEC 11801 or equivalent cabling standards. It applies when the cable assemblies are constructed of cables complying with the IEC 61156 family of standards, and connecting hardware as specified in IEC 60603-7 family of standards or IEC 61076-3-104 and IEC 61076-3-110. In the case where cables and/or connectors do not comply with these standards, then additional tests may be required. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005, and constitutes a technical revision. It differs from the second edition in that it includes test methods for exogenous (alien) crosstalk. It also includes a new annex for uncertainty and variability of field test results.
