ITU-T K.85 (11/2011) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector
5、 (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every f
6、our years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, t
7、he necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary.
8、 However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the neg
9、ative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the
10、use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendati
11、on, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/

ITU-T K.85 (11/2011) v Introduction This Recommendation provides all requirements to minimize disruption and damage to home networks. To ensure a reliable home network service it is essential that a num
19、ber of interrelated requirements are met. These include the following. All equipment complies with the appropriate resistibility level of ITU-T K.21. The equipment ports have been correctly classified in accordance with ITU-T K.75. Overvoltage protection, when required, has been installed according
20、to ITU-T K.66. This includes the use of both multiservice surge protective devices (MSPDs) and primary (point of entry) protection. It also includes ensuring correct earthing and bonding. A risk assessment of equipment damage is performed in accordance with IEC 62305-2. Rec. ITU-T K.85 (11/2011) 1 R
21、ecommendation ITU-T K.85 Requirements for the mitigation of lightning effects on home networks installed in customer premises 1 Scope This Recommendation applies to home networks installed in customer premises. Service to the home network can be provided by optical fibre, wireless, hybrid fibre/coax

42、ITU-T K.85 (11/2011) 6 Requirements To limit the risk of misunderstanding by the supplier/manufacturer, it is recommended that the equipment specification for overvoltage protection and safety includes a schematic diagram showing the likely or possible applications of the equipment. This diagram sho
43、uld specifically address connections of the equipment within the building and especially its interconnection to any lines, or other equipment type connected to lines, that are external to the building. This should include any antenna connections. Some conditions might come with a small increase in i
44、tem cost but could significantly increase application and reduce life cycle cost. 6.1 Classification of ports ITU-T K.75 provides information on classifying plain old telephone service (POTS), Ethernet and video ports. A mains port is always an external port. Correct classification of ports is impor
45、tant. If an internal port is subject to conducted lightning surges or a.c. surges, there will be equipment damage and human safety issues. Please note that when specifying the above overvoltage and safety requirements it is also very important to clearly advise the vendors where the equipment is to
46、be used and what is expected to be connected to it (for example, whether it will or will not involve any connections to cabling that exits the building). Manufacturers of customer equipment in particular assume that the equipment ports will only be connected to intra-building cabling. A problem then
47、 occurs if the network operator, or the customer, decides to extend the service to an outbuilding. Equipment designed for connection to intra-building cabling may have insufficient isolation from the point of view of safety and insufficient resistibility to overvoltages, when connected to inter-buil
48、ding cables. To ensure the equipment use is not limited, the best way to proceed may be to assume that the port will connect to an inter-building cable, unless it is clear that it will not. The types of ports that could be connected to inter-building cabling include: POTS/xDSL; Ethernet; coaxial cab
49、le ports. For those ports that may connect to inter-building cables, classify the ports as follows: For IEC 60950-1 (safety) testing, use TNV-3 for ports with a working voltage higher than the safety extra-low voltage (SELV); or TNV-1 for ports with a working voltage lower than or equal to SELV (see IEC 60950-1 for definitions). For IEC 62368-1 (safety) testing the applicable value of the transient voltage on an external circuit shall be det
