This generic cabling system for homes is specified within EN 50173-4 . Formerly, there had been no test requirement for home c
22、abling. Connectivity tests and visual inspection were, at best, random and insufficient. However, bandwidth requirements of the home applications are ever increasing and home-owners need assurance that their generic cabling will indeed support intended network technologies that are delivered to the
23、home and distributed throughout the home. This part of IEC 61935 addresses both verification and qualification of home cabling.

30、 be supported in home cabling are: ICT: such as 10, 100 1000BASE-T, IEEE 1394 being the most popular; analog telephone, ISDN and DSL applications; BCT: VHF/UHF TV signals (up to 862 MHz), FM radio signals; satellite TV signals, CCTV; control applications. 4.2 General Telecommunications cabling (e.g.
31、, voice, data, video, security, audio, control) can be damaged during the construction phases of rough-in, drywall installation, and even during the siding of the exterior. Many of these damaging faults result from causes such as nails and staples penetrating the cable, severe kinks in the cable whe
32、re the cable was pulled through a drilled hole in a stud or joist, or a cable tear where the cable sheath and conductors are damaged from pulling the cable. For these reasons, telecommunications cabling shall yield to a process to ensure conformance. This process includes: a) visual examination of t
33、he cabling; b) verification testing of the cabling; c) qualification testing or certification testing of the cabling, and d) producing a documented report of results. Visual examination and verification Qualification application specific Certification generic cabling IEC 277/084.3 Visual inspection
34、Whenever it is possible, visual inspection of each cable run shall be made after the cable has been installed, but prior to installation of insulation and drywall. Visual inspection may include but is not limited to a) obvious damage to cable (condition and workmanship); b) separation from EMC sourc
35、es; c) incorrect bend radi, and d) noticeable excessive cable length. 4.4 Verification Verification testing is performed after cable placement and prior to the installation of insulation and drywall and shall be performed to ensure proper end-to-end connectivity. Coaxial cable shall be verified to e
36、nsure connectivity to the remote end with an absence of shorts between the centre conductor and the outer shield. Twisted-pair cabling verification tests shall include: BS EN 61935-3:2009EN 61935-3:2009 8 a) continuity to the remote end; b) length, c) no shorts between any two or more conductors; d)
37、 crossed pairs; e) reversed pairs, f) split pairs, and g) any other mis-wiring; h) continuity of screens (if any). Verification testing for twisted pair shall be accomplished with connectors on both ends of the cable. Nevertheless, temporary housings may be used for later finish-out of the cabling.
38、Verification testing for cables used in certain applications may not be terminated at both ends with an 8-position modular jack (for example audio cable for speakers or cable for control systems). 5 Qualification and certification testing 5.1 General Qualification or certification testing of the cab
39、ling shall be performed after the trim-out of cabling. Typically, certification testing is performed for the rigorous needs of home cabling for commercial use while qualification testing is performed for dwelling homes. 5.2 Qualification testing Qualification testing will determine if the cabling wi
40、ll support certain network technologies (e.g., 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-T, IEEE 1394). For example two cabling runs (cable A and cable B) pass the verification test. A qualification test may show that cable A is only capable of supporting 10BASE-T, while cable B is able to support Gigabit Ethernet. Quali
41、fication testers do not have traceable accuracy to national standards but do provide confidence that specific applications will work. 5.3 Certification testing Certification testing will determine if the cabling meets or exceeds the specific cabling measurements specified in EN 50173-12. For example
42、, installed class D cabling is measured in the frequency range of 1 MHz to 100 MHz for specific cabling characteristic requirements such as propagation delay, delay skew, insertion loss, NEXT, PSNEXT, ELFEXT, PSELFEXT and return loss. Certification testers have traceable accuracy to national standar
43、ds, and certification testing is recommended for mission critical cabling installations where defects can cause significant economic damages to the network owner. 5.4 Documentation The qualification tests shall be summarized within a documented report generated by the test instrument. A copy of the
44、test results summary shall be provided to the owner of the home as well as placed in the distribution centre. 2The measurements are specified in EN 50173-1 , second edition, 2002.

45、 measurements of installed home cabling designed in accordance with EN 50173-4 . The information contained in this clause uses the links defined in EN 50173-4 and specifies parameters for qualification field testers. 6.2 Cabling configurations tested The cabling test configurations are described in
46、EN 50173-4 . 6.3 Qualification field test parameters 6.3.1 Wire map A conductor map test is intended to verify correct pin termination of the 8-pin connectors at each end of twisted pair cabling and to check for installation connectivity errors. For each of the conductors in the cable and the screen
47、(s), if any, the conductor map indicates: a) continuity to the remote end; b) shorts between any two or more conductors/screen(s); c) transposed pairs; d) reversed pairs; e) split pairs; f) any other connection errors; g) continuity of screens (if any). Correct connectivity of telecommunications out

49、p/ring reversal). See Figure 2a for an illustration of a reversed pair. A transposed pair occurs when the two conductors in a wire pair are connected to the position for a different pair at the remote connection. See Figure 2b for an illustration of transposed pairs. NOTE Transposed pairs are sometimes referred to as crossed pairs. BS EN 61935-3:2009 EN 61935-3:2009 10 Split pairs occur when pin to pin continuity is maintained but physical pai
