SIST EN 60728-1-1:2010

Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services - Part 1-1: RF cabling for two way home networks (IEC 60728-1-1:2010)

This part of IEC 60728 provides the requirements and describes the implementation guidelines of RF cabling for two-way home networks; it is applicable to any home network that distributes signals provided by CATV/MATV/SMATV cable networks (including individual receiving systems) having a coaxial cable output. It is also applicable to home networks where some part of the distribution network uses wireless links, for example in place of the receiver cord. This part of IEC 60728 is therefore applicable to RF cabling for two-way home networks with wired cords or wireless links inside a room and primarily intended for television and sound signals operating between about 5 MHz and 3 000 MHz. The frequency range is extended to 6 000 MHz for distribution techniques that replace wired cords with a wireless two-way communication inside a room (or a small number of adjacent rooms) that uses the 5 GHz to 6 GHz band. In a building divided into apartment blocks, the distribution of the signals inside the home starts from the home network interface (HNI) up to the system outlet or terminal input. The requirements at the system outlet are given in IEC 60728-1, Clause 5 and the requirements at the HNI are given in IEC 60728-1, Clause 7. In Clause 5 of this standard additional requirements are given. This standard deals with various possibilities to distribute signals in a home network, using coaxial cables, balanced pair cables, fibre optic cables (glass or plastic) and also wireless links inside a room (or a small number of adjacent rooms) to replace wired cords. This standard gives references to basic methods of measurement of the operational characteristics of the home cable network in order to assess its performance. All requirements refer to the performance limits, which are obtained between the input(s) at the home network interface (HNI) and the output at any system outlet when terminated in a resistance equal to the nominal load impedance of the system, unless otherwise specified. Where system outlets are not used, the above applies to the terminal input. Clause 5 defines the performance limits measured at system outlet or terminal input for an unimpaired (ideal) test signal applied at the HNI. Under normal operating conditions for any analogue channel and meeting these limits, the cumulative effect of the impairment of any single parameter at the HNI and that due to the home network will produce picture and sound signals not worse than Grade four on the five-grade impairment scale contained in ITU-R BT.500. These requirements are given in IEC 60728-1-2. For digitally modulated signals the quality requirement is a QEF (Quasi Error Free) reception. This standard describes the physical layer connection for home networks. Description of protocols required for Layer 2 and higher layers is out of the scope of this standard. Logical connections between devices within the home network are therefore not always guaranteed.

Kabelska omrežja za televizijske in zvokovne signale ter interaktivne storitve - 1-1. del: RF okablenje za dvosmerna domača omrežja (IEC 60728-1-1:2010)

Ta del IEC 60728 določa zahteve in opisuje smernice za implementacijo RF okablenja za dvosmerna domača omrežja; velja za katero koli domače omrežje, ki distribuira signale, katere posredujejo CATV/MATV/SMATV kabelska omrežja (vključno s posamičnimi sistemi za sprejem), ki imajo koaksialni kabelski izhod. Prav tako velja za domača omrežja, pri katerih nek del distribucijskega omrežja uporablja brezžične povezave, na primer na mestu sprejemnega kabla. Ta del IEC 60728 se potemtakem uporablja za RF okablenje za dvosmerna domača omrežja z žičnimi kabli ali brezžičnimi povezavami znotraj sobe ter je namenjen predvsem za televizijo in zvočne signale, ki delujejo med približno 5 MHz in 3000 MHz. Frekvenčni razpon se poveča na 6000 MHz pri distribucijskih tehnikah, ki nadomeščajo žične kable z brezžično dvosmerno komunikacijo znotraj sobe (ali manjšega števila sosednjih sob), ki uporablja pas med od 5 GHz do 6 GHz. V stavbi, razdeljeni v stanovanjske bloke, se distribucija signala znotraj doma začne od domačega omrežnega vmesnika (HNI) do sistemskega izhoda ali vhodnega terminala. Zahteve pri sistemskem izhodu so podane v IEC 60728-1, klavzuli 5 in zahteve pri HNI so podane v IEC 60728-1, klavzuli 7. V klavzuli 5 tega standarda so podane dodatne zahteve. Ta standard obravnava različne možnosti za distribuiranje signalov v domačem omrežju z uporabo koaksialnih kablov, simetričnih parnih kablov, kablov iz optičnih vlaken (steklenih ali plastičnih) in tudi brezžičnih povezav znotraj sobe (ali manjšega števila sosednjih sob) za nadomeščanje žičnih kablov. Ta standard se sklicuje na osnovne metode merjenja operativnih značilnosti domačega kabelskega omrežja z namenom oceniti njegovo delovanje.  Vse zahteve se nanašajo na omejitve delovanja, dosežene med vhodi pri domačem omrežnem vmesniku (HNI) in izhodom preko katerega koli izstopa iz sistema, kadar  je prekinjen z uporom, enakim nazivni obremenitvi impedance sistema, razen če je drugače opredeljeno. Kadar se izhodi iz sistema ne uporabljajo, zgoraj navedeno velja za vhodni terminal.  Klavzula 5 opredeljuje omejitve delovanja, ki se merijo pri sistemskem izhodu ali vhodnem terminalu za neoslabljen (idealni) preskusni signal, ki se uporablja pri HNI. Pod običajnimi operativnimi pogoji za kateri koli analogni kanal in kadar so te omejitve dosežene, bo kumulativni učinek neoslabljenosti katerega koli posameznega parametra pri HNI ter tisti, ki je posledica domačega omrežja, proizvedel slikovne in zvočne signale, ki niso slabši od stopnje štiri na petstopenjski lestvici oslabljenosti, navedene v ITU-R BT.500. Te zahteve so podane v IEC 60728-1-2. Za digitalno modulirane signale je ta zahteva glede kakovosti QEF (kvazi brez napak) sprejem. Ta standard opisuje fizično plast povezave za domača omrežja. Opis protokolov, ki se zahteva za plast 2 in višje plasti, je zunaj področja uporabe tega standarda. Logične povezave med napravami v okviru domačega omrežja potemtakem niso vedno zagotovljene.

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.
