What is BS EN 50697 - Measurement of end-to-end (E2E) links about?
BS EN 50697 discusses information technology. This European standard enables its users to verify the reliability of their E2E links in terms of data transfer.
BS EN 50697 specifies the measurement at frequencies of E2E links of two- and four-pair balanced cabling of 100 MHz of Class D and 250 MHz of Class E including free connectors which terminate two and four pairs in both field and laboratory conditions. BS EN 50697 specifies laboratory and field measurement procedures.
Note1: The requirements for accuracy to measure cabling parameters identified in ISO/IEC TR 11801-9902 are provided in EN 61935-1 and EN 61935-2.
Note2: The specifications for E2E links are described in ISO/IEC TR 11801-9902.
Who is BS EN 50697 - Measurement of end-to-end (E2E) links for?
BS EN 50697 on measurement of end-to-end (E2E) links is useful for:
- IT experts
- Internet service providers
Why should you use BS EN 50697 - Measurement of end-to-end (E2E) links?
Balanced cabling is constructed for connecting equipment using free connectors. It is known that field termination in all parts of the channel has an influence on the channel performance. Poor termination can cause problems in the channel performance and can affect reliable data transmission.
BS EN 50697 specifies field and laboratory measurement methods to evaluate the channel performance of E2E links. BS EN 50697 also provides you with parameters to determine the quality of performance of the E2E links.
Overall, this guidance provided in BS EN 50697 can ensure the reliability of your E2E links to transfer data.
