For cables with a maximum rated temperature of 90°C, Class TM53 compound shall be used and shall comply with the requirements. For oil resistant PVC cables, TM54 or TM55 Grade sheathing compound selected according to environmental conditions should be used. It should be read in conjunction with EN 50290 Part 2-20.

In certain applications, additional performances may be required. Relevant test methods and requirements will be included in the detail specification of the cable.

This European standard harmonizes the standardization of symmetrical, coaxial and optical cables used for infrastructure of communication, multimedia and control networks.
