IEC 62807-1:2017

Hybrid telecommunication cables - Part 1: Generic specification

IEC 62807-1:2017 is applicable to hybrid cables intended to contain any combination of optical fibres, twisted pair/quad, coaxial and current-carrying electrical conductor elements as required under a common outer sheath.
This hybrid cable design is convenient for networks and customer premises wiring that transmit data, telecommunication and signalling services over optical fibre, metallic twisted pairs, and/or broadband data over coaxial units, and retains the option of supplying electrical current to remote equipment.
The cable element (e.g. coaxial, balanced and optical fibre) performance requirements and supported applications are as specified in the following standards series: IEC 61196, IEC 61156, and IEC 60794 respectively.
The various combinations of strength members, sheath materials, fibre arrangements, twisted pair/quad structure, cable shielding, and current carrying conductors will be specified in the following specifications:
- IEC 62807-2;
- IEC 62807-3.
In IEC 62807 (all parts), the current carrying conductors are not intended to be used as power mains supply. The specific use and safety regulation requirements are defined in the detailed and sectional cable specification.

Câbles de télécommunication hybrides - Partie 1 : Spécification générique

L'IEC 62807-1:2017 est applicable aux câbles hybrides prévus pour contenir toute combinaison d'éléments à fibres optiques, paires/quartes torsadées, coaxiaux et conducteurs électriques parcourus par un courant, selon ce qui est demandé sous une gaine extérieure commune.
Cette conception de câble hybride convient pour le câblage des réseaux et le câblage dans les locaux d’utilisateurs qui transmettent des données, des services de télécommunication et de signalisation sur fibre optique, paires torsadées métalliques, et/ou des données à large bande sur des unités coaxiales, et conserve l'option de fournir du courant électrique aux équipements distants.
Les exigences relatives à la performance de chaque élément de câble (coaxial, à paires symétriques et à fibre optique) et les applications prises en charge correspondent à celles qui sont spécifiées dans les séries de normes suivantes: IEC 61196, IEC 61156, et IEC 60794 respectivement.
Les diverses combinaisons d'éléments de renfort, de matériaux de gaine, de dispositions des fibres, de structure des paires/quartes torsadées, d'écrantage de câble, et de conducteurs parcourus par un courant seront stipulées dans les spécifications suivantes:
- IEC 62807-2;
- IEC 62807-3.
Dans l'IEC 62807 (toutes les parties), les conducteurs parcourus par un courant ne sont pas destinés à être utilisés en tant qu'alimentation secteur. Les exigences relatives à une utilisation spécifique et aux réglementations en matière de sécurité sont définies dans la spécification particulière et la spécification intermédiaire de câble.

HYBRID TELECOMMUNICATION CABLES –

Part 1: Generic specification
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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
International Standard IEC 62807-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 46C: Wires and
symmetric cables, of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides, RF connectors,
RF and microwave passive components and accessories.

HYBRID TELECOMMUNICATION CABLES –

Part 1: Generic specification
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62807 is applicable to hybrid cables intended to contain any combination of
optical fibres, twisted pair/quad, coaxial and current-carrying electrical conductor elements as
required under a common outer sheath.
This hybrid cable design is convenient for networks and customer premises wiring that
transmit data, telecommunication and signalling services over optical fibre, metallic twisted
pairs, and/or broadband data over coaxial units, and retains the option of supplying electrical
current to remote equipment.
The cable element (e.g. coaxial, balanced and optical fibre) performance requirements and
supported applications are as specified in the following standards series: IEC 61196,
IEC 61156, and IEC 60794 respectively.
The various combinations of strength members, sheath materials, fibre arrangements, twisted
pair/quad structure, cable shielding, and current carrying conductors will be specified in the
following specifications:
– IEC 62807-2 ;
– IEC 62807-3 .
In IEC 62807 (all parts), the current carrying conductors are not intended to be used as power
mains supply. The specific use and safety regulation requirements are defined in the detailed
and sectional cable specification.
