This draft Technical Report describes a grading system applicable to telecommunications cabling within homes which provides a range of implementation solutions to support both non-simultaneous and simultaneous provision of applications incorporating: a) a cabling structure in accordance with, but less complex than that of, EN 50173-4 and with defined connecting hardware pin assignment for certain applications; b) components meeting or exceeding the requirements of EN 50173-4; c) shorter cabling channels than those specified in EN 50173-4. Safety (electrical safety and protection, optical power, fire, etc.) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of this Technical Report and are covered by standards and regulations. However information given in this Technical Report may be of assistance in meeting these standards and regulations.

Informationstechnik - Anwendungsneutrale Kommunikationskabelanlagen - Teil 99-3: Infrastruktur von Heimverkabelungen bis zu 50 m Länge zur gleichzeitigen oder nicht-gleichzeitigen Bereitstellung von Netzanwendungen

Dieser Technische Berichtsentwurf beschreibt ein System von Klassen, das auf die Telekommuni¬kationsverkabelung in Wohnungen anwendbar ist und das eine Reihe von Ausführungslösungen zur Unterstützung von sowohl nicht-gleichzeitiger wie auch gleichzeitiger Bereitstellung von Netzanwendungen anbietet einschließlich: a) einer Verkabelungsinfrastruktur nach EN 50173-4 (aber weniger komplex als diese) und mit einer definierten Stiftzuordnung der Verbindungstechnik für bestimmte Netzan¬wen¬dungen; b) Komponenten, welche die Anforderungen EN 50173-4 einhalten oder übertreffen; c) kürzere Übertragungsstrecken als in EN 50173-4 festgelegt. Anforderungen an Sicherheit (elektrische Sicherheit und Schutz vor Zerstörung, optische Leistung, Feuer usw.) und elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV) gehören nicht zum Anwendungsbereich dieses Technischen Berichtes und werden von Normen und Vorschriften behandelt. Jedoch kann die in diesem Technischen Bericht gegebene Information bei der Einhaltung dieser Normen und Vorschriften hilfreich sein.

Foreword
This document (CLC/TR 50173-99-3:2012) has been prepared by CLC/TC 215

Introduction
EN 50173-4 specifies generic cabling in homes, installed to support one or more of the
following groups of applications and based upon balanced and coaxial cabling as appropriate:
a) Information and Communication Technologies (ICT);
b) Broadcast and Communication Technologies (BCT);
c) Command, Controls and Communications in Buildings (CCCB).
EN 50083 (all parts) and EN 60728 (all parts) standards deal with cable networks including
equipment and associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing and
distribution of television signals, sound signals and their associated data signals and for
processing, interfacing and transmitting all kinds of signals for interactive services using all applicable
transmission media including community antenna television (CATV) and master antenna
television/satellite master antenna television (MATV/SMATV) networks.
The EN 50174 series specify the specification, planning and practices applicable to installation
of telecommunications cabling within homes.
This Technical Report describes a grading system applicable to telecommunications cabling
within homes which provides a range of implementation solutions to support both non-
simultaneous and simultaneous provision of applications incorporating:
1) a cabling structure in accordance with, but less complex than that of, EN 50173-4 and with
defined connecting hardware pin assignment for certain applications;
2) components meeting or exceeding the requirements of EN 50173-4;
3) shorter cabling channels than those specified in EN 50173-4 (simultaneous transmission of
telephony and 100BASE-T is supported by the reduced channel attenuation resulting from
the restriction of maximum channel lengths to 50 m).
