EN 50290-2-1:2005

Communication cables - Part 2-1: Common design rules and construction

This European Standard harmonises the standardisation of symmetrical, coaxial and optical cables used for the infrastructure of communication, multimedia and control networks. Most of the cables covered by this European Standard are primarily intended to be used in IT networks. However, they can also be used for other applications with the exception of those which presume a direct connection to the mains electricity supply. EN 50290-2-1 gives the common rules for the design and construction of symmetrical, coaxial and optical cables used for the infrastructure of communication and control networks. It is to be used in conjunction with EN 50290-1-1 and is completed by generic, sectional, family and detail specifications, as appropriate, to describe in a detailed manner each type of cable with its specific characteristics.

Kommunikationskabel - Teil 2-1: Allgemeine Entwurfs- und Konstruktionsregeln

Diese Europäische Norm harmonisiert die Normung von symmetrischen, koaxialen und Lichtwellenleiter-Kabeln für den Einsatz in der Infrastruktur von Kommunikations-, Multimedia- und Steuerungs- Netzen. Die meisten von dieser Europäischen Norm abgedeckten Kabel sind in erster Linie für den Gebrauch in IT Netzen vorgesehen. Sie können jedoch auch für andere Anwendungen eingesetzt werden mit Ausnahme solcher, die eine direkte Verbindung zum Starkstrom- Installationsnetz vorsehen. EN 50290-2-1 beschreibt die allgemeinen Entwurfs- und Konstruktionsregeln für symmetrische, koaxiale und Lichtwellenleiter-Kabel in Kommunikations- und Steuerungs- Anlagen. Er ist in Verbindung mit EN 50290-1-1 anzuwenden und wird gegebenenfalls durch Fachgrund-, Rahmen-, Familien- und Bauart- Spezifikationen vervollständigt, um im einzelnen jeden Kabeltyp mit seinen spezifi-schen Eigenschaften zu beschreiben.

Câbles de communication - Partie 2-1: Règles de conception communes et construction

Cette Norme Européenne harmonise la normalisation des câbles symétriques, coaxiaux et optiques utilisés pour les infrastructures de communication des multimédias et des réseaux de contrôle. La plupart des câbles couverts par cette Norme Européenne sont principalement prévus pour être utilisés dans les réseaux IT. Cependant, ils peuvent aussi être utilisés pour d'autres applications exceptées celles pour lesquelles on prévoit une connexion directe au réseau électrique d'alimentation. La EN 50290-2-1 donne les règles communes pour la conception et la fabrication des câbles symétriques, coaxiaux et optiques utilisés pour les infrastructures de communication des multimédias et des réseaux de contrôle. Elle doit être lue avec la EN 50290-1-1 et elle est complétée par des spécifications génériques, particulières et de famille, si appropriées, afin de décrire de façon détaillée chaque type de câble avec ses caractéristiques spécifiques.
