1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the electrical test methods for cables used in analogue
and digital communication systems.
Part 1 of EN 50289 consists of the following documents:
| – | Part 1-1 | General requirements |
| – | Part 1-2 | DC resistance |
| – | Part 1-3 | Dielectric strength |
| – | Part 1-4 | Insulation resistance |
| – | Part 1-5 | Capacitance |
| – | Part 1-6 | Electromagnetic performance |
| – | Part 1-7 | Velocity of propagation |
| – | Part 1-8 | Attenuation |
| – | Part 1-9 | Unbalance attenuation (longitudinal conversation loss, longitudinal conversion transfer loss) |
| – | Part 1-10 | Crosstalk |
| – | Part 1-11 | Characteristic impedance, input impedance, return loss |
| – | Part 1-12 | Inductance |
| – | Part 1-13 | Coupling attenuation or screening attenuation of patch cords / coaxial cable assemblies / pre-connectorised cables |
| – | Part 1-14 | Coupling attenuation or screening attenuation of connecting hardware |
| – | Part 1-15 | Coupling attenuation of links and channels (Laboratory conditions) |
| – | Part 1-16 | Coupling attenuation of cable assemblies (Field conditions) |
| – | Part 1-17 | Exogenous Crosstalk ExNEXT and ExFEXT |
Further test details (e.g. temperature, duration) and/or test requirements are given
in the relevant cable standard.
