For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 50290-1-2:2004, EN 50117-
1:2019 and the following apply.
3.1
distribution and trunk cable
coaxial cable which is used to connect from:
a) head end to head end,
b) head end to amplifier,
c) amplifier to amplifier,
d) amplifier to splitter or directional coupler,
e) splitter, directional coupler or subscriber tap to splitter, directional coupler or subscriber tap
Note 1 to entry: For systems which use an integrated directional coupler and system outlet (looped system outlet),
the interconnection cables shall be defined as trunk and distribution cables.
4 Requirements for cable construction and design
4.1 General
Cables according to this standard are designed for an operating temperature range from −40 °C to
1)
+70 °C and at frequencies between 5 MHz and 2 000 MHz.
When designing the cable, consideration should be given to the maximum admissible current stated in
the detail specification. It is assumed that the raise of temperature of the inner conductor when submitted
to the maximum current under nominal ambient conditions does not affect the mechanical and electrical
properties of the cable.
———————
1) This value is valid for applications without ampacity only, see also Table A.1 concerning max. DC current.

Cables according to this standard may be operated at voltages > 50 V AC or > 75 V DC according to the
detail specification of the manufacturer. However, these cables are not intended for direct connection to
the mains electricity supply or other low impedance sources.
Cables according to this standard shall be designed according to EN 50290-2-1, Communication cables
Part 2-1: Common design rules and construction. They shall be used according to EN 50290-4-1,
Communication cables - Part 4-1: General considerations for the use of cables - Environmental conditions
and safety aspects.
The use of cables according to this standard including delivery, storage and installation shall be in
accordance with EN 50290-4-2, Communication cables - Part 4-2: General considerations for the use of
cables - Guide to use, unless otherwise specified.
Cables according to this standard shall be tested for voltage withstanding. The test is performed between
conductors and between the conductors or screen and the outer surface of the sheath.
Care shall be taken during assembly of the cables due to sharp edges from foils or bands. Assembling of
the cables according to this standard shall be performed by professional staff only, using suitable tools.
When constructed in accordance with EN 50290-2-1 and EN 50117-1 and submitted to spark testing,
CATV cables according to this standard may be installed together with Low Voltage cables.
All cables covered by this standard do not fall under the scope of the RED or the EMC directive.
Nevertheless, transfer impedance and screening attenuation according to 5.1.3.6 and 5.1.3.7 shall be
specified in the relevant detail specification, if the intended application of the cable is the use in
combination with equipment under the RED or the EMC Directive.
