AMENDMENT 2
FOREWORD
1) ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental,
in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC and ISO National bodies.
3) IEC and ISO documents have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC and
ISO National bodies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of
IEC and ISO documents is accurate, IEC and ISO cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used
or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC and ISO National bodies undertake to apply IEC and ISO
documents transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any
divergence between any IEC and ISO document and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be
clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC and ISO do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC and ISO marks of conformity. IEC and ISO are not
responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this document.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC and ISO or their directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of its technical committees and IEC and ISO National bodies for any personal injury,
property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including
legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this ISO/IEC document or any
other IEC and ISO documents.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this document. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this document.
9) IEC and ISO draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC and ISO take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC and ISO had not received notice of
(a) patent(s), which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this
may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
https://patents.iec.ch and www.iso.org/patents. IEC and ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or
all such patent rights.

Temperature rise above 10 K shown in grey background is not recommended for cables installed in an environment
that can reach 50 °C.
NOTE 1 These values are based on conductor temperature measurement of typical cables and cords.
NOTE 2 Currents above 2 000 mA are for information only.
In Table 6, added by Amendment 1, delete column "0,32 mm diameter", as follows:

Temperature rise above 10 °C shown in grey background is not recommended.
The values in this table are based on the implicit DC resistance derived from the insertion loss of the various
conductor diameters of cable. Manufacturers' and/or suppliers' specifications give information relating to a
specific cable.
NOTE 1 The current per conductor for each 1-pair cable is also dependent on the cable construction.
NOTE 2 Currents above 2 000 mA are for information only.

6.4.3 Cable count within a bundle
Replace the first three paragraphs, added by Amendment 1, with the following text:
This document uses 37-cable bundles as the basis for developing the temperature rise and
current per conductor with all pairs energized. For other cases (e.g. where bundle count
exceeds 37 cables), the guidelines provided in 6.4.4 can be used.
Refer to Table 7 to determine the maximum temperature rise using 2 000 mA per conductor for
1-pair cable bundles of different count.
NOTE The temperature rise of one cable is lower than that of a 7-cable bundle shown in all tables.
6.4.4 Reducing temperature increase
In the sixth paragraph, replace "Figure 1" with "Figure 3".
In the seventh paragraph, replace "Figure 2" with "Figure 4".
In Table 4, replace the left column heading "No. of pairs" with "No. of energized pairs" and
replace "°C" with "K" in two places.
Replace Table 8, Figure 3, Table 9 and Figure 4, all added by Amendment 1, with the following
new Table 8, Figure 3, Table 9 and Figure 4:
