SC 46C - Wires and symmetric cables
To establish and maintain standards for wires and symmetric cable pairs and quads for analogue and digital transmission systems and equipment for communication and signalling. These standards may include the following: - general cable construction, - electrical characteristics, - transmission characteristics, - mechanical characteristics, - environmental characteristics, - related test methods and requirements, - quality assessment procedures.
Câbles symétriques et fils
Préparer et tenir à jour des normes applicables aux fils et aux câbles symétriques en paires ou quartes utilisables dans les réseaux de transmission analogiques et numériques comme dans les équipements de communication et de signalisation. Ces normes pouvant porter sur : - la construction générale des câbles, - les caractéristiques électriques, - les caractéristiques de transmission, - les caractéristiques mécaniques, - les caractéristiques relatives à l'environnement, - les méthodes et les prescriptions relatives aux essais, - les procédures d'assurance qualité.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
