1 Scope
This European Standard relates to EN 50117-1 and should be read in conjunction with
this generic specification. This standard applies to indoor drop cables for use in cabled
distribution systems operating at temperatures between - 40 °C and + 70 °C and at
frequencies between 5 MHz and 1 000 MHz and complying with the requirements of
EN 50083.
The purpose of this standard is to specify the applicable test methods and requirements
for the electrical, mechanical, environmental and fire performance of the cables.
2 Normative references
