1 Scope
This European Standard relates to EN 50117-1 and should be read in conjunction with
this generic specification. This standard applies to indoor drop cables for use in cabled
distribution systems operating at temperatures between - 40 °C and + 70 °C and at
frequencies between 5 MHz and 1 000 MHz and complying with the requirements of
EN 50083.
The purpose of this standard is to specify the applicable test methods and requirements
for the electrical, mechanical, environmental and fire performance of the cables.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from
other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the
text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent
amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard
only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).
