Information technology. Generic cabling systems. General requirements
Requirements for generic cabling within premises which comprise single or multiple buildings on a campus.
This European Standard specifies generic cabling for use within premises which may comprise single or multiple buildings on a campus. It covers balanced cabling and optical fibre cabling.
This standard is optimized for premises in which the maximum distance over which telecommunications services have to be distributed is 2 000 m. The principles of this standard may also be applied to larger installations.
This standard provides:
a) users with an application independent generic cabling system and an open market for cabling components;
b) users with a flexible cabling scheme such that modifications are both easy and economical;
c) building professionals (for example, architects) with guidance allowing the accommodation of cabling before specific requirements are known, i.e. in the initial planning either for construction or refurbishment;
d) industry and standardization bodies with a cabling system which supports current products and provides a basis for future product development and applications standardization.
Cabling defined by this standard supports a wide range of services including voice, data, text, image and video.
This Standard includes the following cross-references:
