Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 11801 specifies generic cabling for single-tenant homes. A home can contain one or more buildings or can be within a building that contains more than one home. It covers balanced cabling, optical fibre cabling and coaxial cabling.

This document specifies a generic cabling for two groups of applications:

1) information and communications technologies (ICT),
2) broadcast and communications technologies (BCT).

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

a) the structure and minimum configuration for generic cabling within homes,
b) the interfaces at the telecommunications outlet (TO) and broadcast outlet (BO),
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 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 align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard
