Defines the electrical test methods for cables used in analogue and digital communication systems.

This European Standard specifies the electrical test methods for cables used in analogue and digital communication systems.

Part 1 of EN 50289 consists of the following documents:

• Part 1-1 General requirements

• Part 1-2 DC resistance

• Part 1-3 Dielectric strength

• Part 1-4 Insulation resistance

• Part 1-5 Capacitance

• Part 1-6 Electromagnetic performance

• Part 1-7 Velocity of propagation

• Part 1-8 Attenuation

• Part 1-9 Unbalance attenuation (longitudinal conversation loss, longitudinal conversion transfer loss)

• Part 1-10 Crosstalk

• Part 1-11 Characteristic impedance, input impedance, return loss

• Part 1-12 Inductance

• Part 1-13 Coupling attenuation or screening attenuation of patch cords / coaxial cable assemblies / pre-connectorised cables

• Part 1-14 Coupling attenuation or screening attenuation of connecting hardware

• Part 1-15 Coupling attenuation of links and channels (Laboratory conditions)

• Part 1-16 Coupling attenuation of cable assemblies (Field conditions)

• Part 1-17 Exogenous Crosstalk ExNEXT and ExFEXT

Further test details (e.g. temperature, duration) and/or test requirements are given in the relevant cable standard.
