What is BS EN 50117‑10‑1 - 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 50117‑10‑1 is a sectional specification that applies to coaxial outdoor drop 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 50117‑10‑1 also includes the transmission of BCT signals provided by a CATV, MATV or SMATV cable network.
The purpose of BS EN 50117‑10‑1 is to specify the applicable test methods and requirements for the electrical, mechanical, and environmental characteristics and for fire performance of the cables.

BS EN 50117‑10‑1 on coaxial cable is applicable to:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 50117‑10‑1 - Coaxial cables ?
Coaxial cable is a type of transmission line, used to carry high-frequency electrical signals with low losses. It is used in such applications as telephone trunk lines, broadband internet networking cables, high-speed computer data buses, cable television signals, and connecting radio transmitters and receivers to their antennas. BS EN 50117‑10‑1 implementation on the outdoor application gives us benefit as the coating for such cables is a secure watertight covering that won’t deteriorate with time.
BS EN 50117‑10‑1 in analogue and digital outdoor application is beneficial as it establishes a transmission of data through cables regardless of the weather conditions as the additional insulating coating is present to make it weather friendly and function between 5MHz -1000MHz. Using BS EN 50117‑10‑1 you can understand sectional specification that applies to coaxial outdoor drop cables for analogue and digital one- and two-way signal transmission.
