Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 11801 specifies generic cabling for use within office premises, which can comprise single or multiple buildings on a campus. It covers balanced cabling and optical fibre cabling.

This document is optimized for premises in which the maximum distance over which telecommunications services can be distributed is 2 000 m. The principles of this document can be applied to larger installations.

Cabling specified by this document supports a wide range of services including voice, data, and video that can also incorporate the supply of power.

This document specifies directly or via reference to ISO/IEC 11801-1

a) the structure and minimum configuration for generic cabling within office premises
b) the interfaces at the telecommunications outlet (TO)
c) the performance requirements for cabling links and channels
d) the implementation requirements and options
e) the performance requirements for cabling components
f) the conformance requirements and verification procedures.

Safety (e.g. electrical safety and protection and fire) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of this document, and are covered by other standards and by regulations. However, information given by this document can be of assistance.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
