Amend 8 , 9 , 10 and 11 paragraphs to read
Additional balanced cables (for ICT and/or BCT applications), coaxial cables (for BCT applications) or
optical fibre cables should be provided as defined by
- the number and mix of applications (e.g. satellite feed, multi-cable feed of CATV, in-house
generated video);
NOTE Some applications, such as direct satellite feeds, use frequencies above 1 000 MHz that are only supported by the
higher bandwidth BCT-C channels.
- the number of application outlets to be served.
For metallic cabling supporting both ICT and BCT channels, the application outlet is termed the
MATO. A MATO may also be used to support CCCB applications where appropriate, see
EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F.
For balanced cabling supporting ICT channels only, the application outlet is termed the TO and uses
connecting hardware specified in 9.2. A TO may also be used to support BCT and CCCB applications
where appropriate, see EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F.
For balanced or coaxial cabling supporting BCT channels only, the application outlet is termed the BO
and uses connecting hardware specified in 9.3. A BO using balanced BCT-B cabling may also be
used to support ICT and CCCB applications where appropriate, see EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F.

Insert the following after 11 paragraph:
For optical channels supporting either ICT or BCT channels, the application outlet is termed an optical
TO/BO and terminates a minimum of one cable containing two optical fibres in accordance with

Insert a new subclause 4.7.5.5:
4.7.5.5 Optical TO/BO
The optical TO/BO shall be located in readily accessible locations in the room, depending on the
design of the building and subject to the requirements of national and local regulations.
Each optical TO/BO shall be terminated in accordance with 9.5.

Amend paragraph 9 (after Table 3) to read:
While cabling channels for ICT and CCCB within the home presently are provided via balanced cables
only, channels for BCT may be provided via balanced cable or coaxial cable. The CCCB channel
specified in this Clause assumes power feeding and information transfer on the same pair(s). The
CCCB channel is specified with a current carrying capacity of 0,7 A. This requirement may be met with
one pair of a CCCB cable or the use, in combination, of the pairs of an ICT cable. All channels
specified in this Clause assume bi-directional transmission.

Cabling shall be designed using the cabled optical fibre Categories referenced in Clause 8 to provide
channel performance of:
a) Class OF-25 - using cabled plastic fibre of Category OP1;
NOTE 1 The supported emerging application HS-BASE-P described in ETSI TS 105 175-1-1 is specified to deliver
1 Gbit/s over this channel Class.
b) Class OF-100 - using cabled optical fibre of at least Category OM3;
c) Class OF-300 – using cabled optical fibre Category OS1 or OS2.
NOTE 2 The length of the channel is limited to 100 m as specified in Table 2.

7.3 Optical fibre cabling
7.3.1 General
Optical fibre channels shall be comprised of components that comply with Clauses 8, 9 and 10. The
optical fibres are defined in terms of physical construction (core/cladding diameter) and their
transmission performance Category within a cable.
Within the reference implementations of this clause, the optical fibres used in each cabling channel
shall have the same physical construction specification and the cabled optical fibres shall be of the
same category. When more than one physical construction or cabled optical fibre category is used in a
cabling subsystem the cabling shall be marked to allow each cabling type to be clearly identified.
7.3.2 Component choice
The selection of optical fibre components shall be determined by the channel lengths required and the
applications to be supported. Refer to EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F, for guidance.
7.3.3 Maximum channel lengths
The models of Figure 13 are applicable to home or secondary home optical fibre cabling. It should be
noted that the connection systems used to terminate fixed optical cabling may contain mated
connections and splices (permanent or re-useable) and that cross-connects may comprise re-useable
splices.
