What is BS EN 50117‑11‑1 - Coaxial cables about?
BS EN 50117 is a series on coaxial cables. Coaxial cables are a type of transmission line, used to carry a high-frequency electrical signal with low losses. BS EN 50117‑11‑1 is a sectional specification that applies to coaxial distribution and trunk cables for analogue and digital one and two-way signal transmission, e.g., for cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services.
BS EN 50117‑11‑1 also includes the transmission of BCT signals provided by a CATV, MATV or SMATV cable network. The purpose of BS EN 50117‑11‑1 is to specify the applicable test methods and requirements for the electrical, mechanical, and environmental characteristics and for the fire performance of the cables.
Who is BS EN 50117‑11‑1 - Coaxial cables for?
BS EN 50117‑11‑1 on coaxial cables is applicable to:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 50117‑11‑1 - Coaxial cables?
Coaxial cables are a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket. BS EN 50117‑11‑1 implementation helps the user to establish a transmission that is durable and offers less attenuation as the cables are coated with an extra layer of OFNP, OFNR, and LSZH cable jackets.
A wide variety of fibres, pre-terminated at the factory for quality, variety of connectors makes BS EN 50117‑11‑1 suitable for systems operating between 5MHz – 1000MHz. Using BS EN 50117‑11‑1 you can specify coaxial distribution and trunk cables for analogue and digital one and two-way signal transmission.
