IEC EN 50173-1 Information Technology - General Cabling Systems - Part 1: General Requirements

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 50173-1 testing. This European standard contains general requirements supporting other standards in the IEC EN 50173 series.

IEC EN 50173-1 Information Technology - General Cabling Systems - Part 1: General Requirements

This European standard states:

  • structure and configuration of backbone cabling subsystems of general cabling systems within facility types defined by other standards in the IEC EN 50173 series;
  • Channel performance requirements supporting the standards in the IEC EN 50173 series;
  • Connection performance requirements supporting the standards in the IEC EN 50173 series;
  • Backbone cabling reference applications supporting the standards in the IEC EN 50173 series;
  • Component performance requirements supporting the standards in the IEC EN 50173 series.

Safety (electrical safety and protection, optical power, fire, etc.) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are beyond the scope of this European standard and are covered by other standards and regulations. However, the information provided in this European standard can be helpful in meeting these standards and regulations. Compliance This European standard does not contain special conformity requirements. Other standards in the IEC EN 50173 series include the requirements of this standard as part of their conformity requirements.

Safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are beyond the scope of this European standard and are covered by other standards and regulations. However, the information provided in this European standard can assist in meeting these standards and regulations.

This clause identifies the functional elements of common backbone cables, explaining how they are interconnected to form the backbone, regardless of the type of space in which the cables are installed. It defines the cabling subsystems and defines the interfaces to which generic cabling and application-specific components are connected. Each building type contains additional functional elements.

The environmental performance characteristics of the ducts are classified to cover the different conditions in which ducts must operate in plant types defined in other standards of the IEC EN 50173 series.
