What is PD CLC/TR 50173-99-3 - Home cabling infrastructures about?
PD CLC/TR 50173-99-3 is a technical report that describes a grading system applicable to telecommunications cabling within homes which provides a range of implementation solutions to support both nonsimultaneous and simultaneous provision of applications incorporating:
- A cabling structure in accordance with, but less complex than that of, EN 50173-4 and wit defined connecting hardware pin assignment for certain applications
- Components meeting or exceeding the requirements of EN 50173-4
- Shorter cabling channels than those specified in EN 50173-4
Note: Safety (electrical safety and protection, optical power, fire, etc.) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of PD CLC/TR 50173-99-3 and are covered by standards and regulations. However, information given in PD CLC/TR 50173-99-3 may be of assistance in meeting these standards and regulations.

Why should you use PD CLC/TR 50173-99-3 - Home cabling infrastructures?
EN 50173-4 specifies generic cabling in homes, installed to support one or more of the following groups of applications and based upon balanced and coaxial cabling as appropriate:
- Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
- Broadcast and Communication Technologies (BCT)
- Command, Controls and Communications in Buildings (CCCB)

- Components meeting or exceeding the requirements of EN 50173-4
- Shorter cabling channels than those specified in EN 50173-4 (simultaneous transmission of telephony and 100BASE-T is supported by the reduced channel attenuation resulting from the restriction of maximum channel lengths to 50 m)
