24、16-07-22 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. Therefore
25、, CLC/TC 215 has established relevant European Standards which address the specific requirements of these premises. In order to point out the commonalities of these cabling design standards, these European Standards are published as individual parts of the EN 50173 series, thus also acknowledging th
26、at standards users recognise the designation “EN 50173” as a synonym for generic cabling design. At the time of publication of this European Standard, EN 50173 series comprises the following standards: EN 50173-1 Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 1: General requirements EN 50173-2

BS EN 50173-6:2013 5 EN 50173-6:2013 Introduction The importance of the information technology cabling infrastructure is similar to that of other utilities such as heating, lighting and electricity supplies. As with other utilities, interruptions to service can have serious impact. Poor quali
30、ty of service due to lack of planning, use of inappropriate components, incorrect installation, poor administration or inadequate support can threaten an organisations effectiveness. Historically, the cabling within premises comprised both application-specific and multipurpose networks. Standards wi
31、thin the EN 50173 series have enabled a controlled migration to generic cabling (with an associated reduction in the use of application-specific cabling) and supported the development of high data rate applications based upon defined cabling models. This European Standard, EN 50173-6, specifies gene
32、ric cabling that supports a wide range of communication services within premises that comprise single or multiple buildings on a campus. It has been prepared to reflect the increasing use of generic cabling in support of non-user specific services, many of which require the use of remote powered dev
33、ices including: I) telecommunications, e.g. wireless access points; II) energy management, e.g. lighting, power distribution, incoming utility metering; III) environmental control, e.g. temperature, humidity; IV) personnel management, e.g. access control, cameras, passive infra-red (PIR) detectors,
34、time and attendance monitoring, electronic signage, audio-visual (AV) projectors; V) personal information and alarms, e.g. paging, patient monitoring, nurse call, infant security. The distribution of these services is provided: i) using the balanced cabling channel Classes of EN 50173-2 and the all-
35、silica optical fibre cabling channel Classes of EN 50173-1; ii) to locations other than those specified by premises-specific standards in the EN 50173 series either as a stand-alone structure and configuration or as an overlay to an EN 50173 structure and configuration. This European Standard is not
36、 intended to replace the application of other premises-specific standards in EN 50173 series but has been prepared in recognition of the fact that, although certain functional elements of service distribution cabling may be co-located with those of other generic cabling infrastructures, service dist
37、ribution cabling may be: specified, installed and operated by different entities than those responsible for other generic cabling infrastructures that may be installed within the premises; specified and installed at a different time than other generic cabling infrastructures that may be installed wi
38、thin the premises. This European Standard provides: a) users with an application independent generic cabling system and an open market for cabling components; b) users with a flexible cabling scheme such that modifications are both easy and economical; c) building professionals (for example, archite
39、cts) with guidance allowing the accommodation of cabling before specific requirements are known; i.e. in the initial planning either for construction or refurbishment; d) industry and standardization bodies with a cabling system which supports current products and provides a basis for future product
40、 development and applications standardization. BS EN 50173-6:2013EN 50173-6:2013 6 This European Standard specifies multi-vendor cabling, and is related to: - standards for cabling components developed by Technical Committees of CENELEC and/or IEC; - standards for the quality assurance and installat
41、ion of information technology cabling (EN 50174 series) and testing of installed cabling (EN 50346); - applications developed by the Technical Committees of IEC (including the subcommittees of ISO/IEC JTC 1) and study groups of ITU-T. The applications listed in EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F, have been an
42、alysed to determine the requirements for a generic cabling system. These requirements, together with statistics concerning premises geography from different countries and the models described in Clause 6, have been used to develop the requirements for cabling components and to stipulate their arrang
43、ement into cabling systems. As a result, generic cabling defined within this European Standard is targeted at, but not limited to, office premises. It is anticipated that the generic cabling system meeting the minimum requirements of this European Standard will have a life expectancy in excess of te
44、n years. Figure 1 and Table 1 show the schematic and contextual relationships between the standards produced by CLC/TC 215 for information technology cabling, namely: 1) this part and other parts of EN 50173 series; 2) application dependent cabling design (e.g. EN 50098 series); 3) installation (EN
45、50174 series); 4) testing of installed cabling (EN 50346); 5) equipotential bonding requirements (EN 50310). In addition, a number of Technical Reports have been developed to support or extend the application of these standards, including: CLC/TR 50173-99-1, Cabling guidelines in support of 10 GBASE
46、-T; CLC/TR 50173-99-2, Information technology Implementation of BCT applications using cabling in accordance with EN 50173-4; CLC/TR 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 pr
