Information technology - Generic cabling systems - Part 10: Single pair cabling prEN 50173-10:2026

Scope

This document specifies 1-pair cabling and can be used in conjunction with all the space-specific standards of the EN 50173 series but especially EN 50173-3 and EN 50173-6.
NOTE 1-pair cabling for EN 50173-2, EN 50173-4 and EN 50173-5 is for further study.
It delivers 1-pair cabling specifications to extend generic cabling systems according to the EN 50173 series.
This document specifies the:
— structure and minimum configuration for extension of generic cabling by 1-pair cabling;
— interfaces at the service outlet (SO/TO);
— performance requirements for cabling links and channels;
— implementation requirements and options;
— performance requirements for cabling components;
— conformance requirements and verification procedures.
This document takes into account the requirements specified in application standards listed in Annex C.
