Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 11801 specifies requirements that are common to the other parts of the ISO/IEC 11801 series. Cabling specified by this document supports a wide range of services including voice, data, and video that may also incorporate the supply of power.

This document specifies:

a) the fundamental structure and configuration of generic cabling requirements within the types of premises defined by the other parts of the ISO/IEC 11801 series,

b) channel transmission and environmental performance requirements,

c) link performance requirements,

d) backbone cabling reference implementations in support of the parts of the ISO/IEC 11801 series,

e) component performance requirements, referring to available International Standards for components and test methods where appropriate,

f) test procedures to verify conformance to the cabling transmission performance requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801 series.

NOTE This document does not contain specific conformance requirements. The cabling design documents supported by ISO/IEC 11801-1 incorporate the requirements of this document as part of their individual conformance requirements.

In addition, this document provides information regarding the applications supported by the cabling channels. 

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
