FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC 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 National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC 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 National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees 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 IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
A PAS is a technical specification not fulfilling the requirements for a standard but made
available to the public.
IEC-PAS 61935-2-20 has been processed by IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires,
waveguides, r.f. connectors, r.f. and microwave passive components and accessories.
The text of this PAS is based on the This PAS was approved for
following document: publication by the P-members of the
committee concerned as indicated in
the following document:
Draft PAS Report on voting
46/180/NP 46/195/RVN
– 4 – PAS 61935-2-20 © IEC:2007(E)

Following publication of this PAS, which is a pre-standard publication, the technical committee

or subcommittee concerned will transform it into an International Standard.

This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum period of three years starting from

2007-05. The validity may be extended for a single three-year period, following which it shall

be revised to become another type of normative document or shall be withdrawn.

Part 2-20: Work area cord for class D applications –

Blank detail specification
1 Scope
This PAS is a blank detail specification describing work area cord for class D applications, as
defined in ISO/IEC 11801 as well as in ISO/IEC 24702.
This specification should be used in conjunction with IEC 61156-1 and IEC 61156-6 and IEC
60603-7-2 and IEC 60603-7-3. The blank detail specification determines the layout and style
for detail specifications describing symmetrical pair/quad cables with transmission
characteristics up to 100 MHz for digital communications. Detail specifications, based on the
blank detail specification, may be prepared by a national organization, a manufacturer, or a
user.
The designation "Category 5e" is used herein to describe an enhanced Category 5 cable
(see Clause 1 of IEC 61156-6).
