EN 50173-5:2007

Information technology - Generic cabling systems - Part 5: Data centres

1.1 Scope This European Standard specifies generic cabling that supports a wide range of communications services for use within a data centre. It covers balanced cabling and optical fibre cabling. This European Standard is based upon and references the requirements of EN 50173-1. This European Standard contains additional requirements that are appropriate to data centres in which the distance over which communications services have to be distributed is the maximum defined for backbone cabling implementations within EN 50173 1. The principles of this European Standard may also be applied to installations that do not fall within this range. In addition to the requirements of EN 50173-1, this European Standard specifies: a) a modified structure and configuration for generic cabling within data centres used to support existing and emerging applications; b) implementation options to reflect the quantity of connections required in data centre infrastructures; c) requirements that reflect the range of operating environments within data centres. Safety (electrical safety and protection, fire, optical power etc.) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of this European Standard and are covered by other standards and regulations. However, information given in this European Standard may be of assistance in meeting these standards and regulations.

Ta evropski standard določa univerzalno polaganje kablov, ki podpira širok razpon komunikacijskih storitev za uporabo v podatkovnih centrih. Zajema uravnoteženo polaganje kablov in polaganje optičnih kablov. Ta evropski standard temelji na zahtevah EN 50173-1 in se sklicuje nanje. Ta evropski standard vsebuje dodatne zahteve, ki so primerne za podatkovne centre, kjer je največja razdalja, na kateri je treba distribuirati komunikacijske storitve, opredeljena z izvedbo hrbteničnega polaganja kablov v EN 50173-1. Načela tega evropskega standarda prav tako lahko veljajo za inštalacije, ki niso v tem obsegu.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2007-04-11. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,

Foreword
This European Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 215, Electrotechnical
aspects of telecommunication equipment.
The text of the draft was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 50173-5 on
2007-04-11.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2008-05-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2010-05-01
The European Standards EN 50173:1995 and EN 50173-1:2002 have been developed to enable the
application-independent cabling to support ICT applications in office premises. Their basic principles,
however, are applicable to other types of applications and in other types of premises.
TC 215 has decided to establish relevant European Standards which address the specific requirements of
these premises. In order to point out the commonalities of these cabling design standards, these EN are
published as individual parts of the series EN 50173, thus also acknowledging that standards users recognize
the designation “EN 50173” as a synonym for generic cabling design.
At the time of publication of this European Standard, series EN 50173 comprises the following standards:
EN 50173-1 Information technology – Generic cabling systems – Part 1: General requirements
EN 50173-2 Information technology – Generic cabling systems – Part 2: Office premises
EN 50173-3 Information technology – Generic cabling systems – Part 3: Industrial premises
EN 50173-4 Information technology – Generic cabling systems – Part 4: Homes
EN 50173-5 Information technology – Generic cabling systems – Part 5: Data centres
