Multi-element metallic cables used in analogue and digital communication and control - Part 3-1: Sectional specification for unscreened cables characterised up to 100 MHz - Horizontal and building backbone cables
EN 50288-3-1 is a sectional specification for unscreened cables, characterised from 1 MHz up to 100 MHz, to be used in horizontal and building backbone wiring as defined in EN 50173. This sectional specification contains the electrical, mechanical, transmission and environmental performance characteristics of the cables, when tested in accordance with the referenced test methods. This sectional specification is to be read in conjunction with EN 50288-1 which contains the essential provisions for its application. The cables covered in this sectional specification are intended to operate with voltages and currents normally encountered in communication systems. These cables are not intended to be used in conjunction with low impedance sources, for example, the electric power supplies of public utility mains.

Standard EN 50288-3-1 je področna specifikacija za nezaslonjene kable, ki se lahko uporabljajo za pasovne širine od 1 MHz do 100 MHz v vodoravnem (etažnem) in stavbnem hrbteničnem (medetažnem) ožičenju, kot je določeno v standardu EN 50173. Ta področna specifikacija vsebuje električne, mehanske, prenosne in okoljske karakteristike delovanja kablov pri preskušanju v skladu z navedenimi preskusnimi metodami. Ta področna specifikacija se uporablja skupaj s standardom EN 50288-1, ki vsebuje bistvene določbe za njeno uporabo. Kabli, zajeti v tej področni specifikaciji, so namenjeni za delovanje pri napetostih in tokovih, ki so običajni v komunikacijskih sistemih. Ti kabli niso namenjeni za uporabo z viri z nizko impedanco, na primer z električnim napajanjem javnih omrežij.
