The following dates are fixed: latest date by which this
34、 document has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2019-03-19 latest date by which the national standards conflicting with this document have to be withdrawn (dow) 2021-03-19 This document supersedes EN 50173-5:2007 + A1:2010 +
35、AC:2011 + A2:2012. The European Standards EN 50173:1995 and EN 50173-1:2002 have been developed to enable the application-independent cabling to support ICT applications in office premises. Their basic principles, however, are applicable to other types of applications and in other types of premises.
36、 TC 215 has decided to establish relevant European Standards which address the specific requirements of these premises. In order to point out the commonalities of these cabling design standards, these EN are published as individual parts of the series EN 50173, thus also acknowledging that standards
37、 users recognize the designation “EN 50173” as a synonym for generic cabling design. At the time of publication of this European Standard, series EN 50173 comprises the following standards: EN 50173-1 Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 1: General requirements EN 50173-2 Information
38、technology Generic cabling systems Part 2: Office spaces EN 50173-3 Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 3: Industrial spaces EN 50173-4 Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 4: Homes EN 50173-5 Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 5: Data centre spaces EN
39、 50173-6 Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 6: Distributed building services This edition of EN 50173-5: a) introduces new components 8.1 and 8.2 for balanced cabling to support new channel Classes I and II as well as optical fibre cabling (OM5) as defined in EN 50173-1:2018; b) cla
40、rifies that the cabling defined in this standard applies to computer rooms in data centres; c) aligns the document structure across the EN 50173 series and updates the document both technically and editorially. BS EN 50173-5:2018EN 50173-5:2018 (E) 6 Introduction The importance of cabling infrastruc
41、ture is similar to that of other fundamental utilities such as water and energy supply and interruptions to the services provided over that infrastructure can have a serious impact. A lack of design foresight, the use of inappropriate components, incorrect installation, poor administration or inadeq
42、uate support can threaten quality of service and have commercial consequences for all types of users. This standard specifies generic cabling within computer room spaces in data centre premises, or data centre spaces within other types of building. Additionally those premises can include: office spa
43、ces for which generic cabling is specified in EN 50173-2; industrial spaces for which generic cabling is specified in EN 50173-3. Generic cabling for distributed building services in data centre spaces is specified in EN 50173-6 which addresses all of the above premises and spaces within them. Figur
44、e 1 and Table 1 show the schematic and contextual relationships between the standards produced by TC 215 for information technology cabling, namely: 1) this and other parts of the EN 50173 series; 2) installation (EN 50174 series); 3) bonding (EN 50310).

47、 to support or extend the application of these standards, including: CLC/TR 50173-99-1, Cabling guidelines in support of 10 GBASE-T; BS EN 50173-5:2018EN 50173-5:2018 (E) 8 CLC/TR 50173-99-2, Information technology Implementation of BCT applications using cabling in accordance with EN 50173-4; CLC/T
48、R 50173-99-3, Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 99-3: Home cabling infrastructures up to 50 m in length to support simultaneous and non simultaneous provision of applications. In addition, a number of cabling design standards have been developed using components of EN 50173-1 (e.g.
49、 EN 50098 series and EN 50700). The generic cabling specified by this standard provides users with: an application independent system capable of supporting a wide range of applications in a range of installation and operating environments; a flexible scheme such that modifications are both easy and economical; a multi-vendor supply chain within an open market for cabling components. In addition this standard provides: a) relevant industry professionals with g
