EN 50083-2:2001

This standard •applies to the radiation characteristics and immunity to electromagnetic disturbance of EM active equipment (active and passive equipment) for the reception, processing and distribution of television, sound and interactive multimedia signals as dealt with in the following parts of EN 50083 series: -EN 50083-3"Active wideband equipment for coaxial cable networks" -EN 50083-4"Passive wideband equipment for coaxial cable networks" -EN 50083-5"Headend equipment" -EN 50083-6"Optical equipment" •covers the following frequency ranges: Disturbance voltage injected into the mains9 kHz to 30 MHz Radiation from active equipment 5 MHz to 25 GHz Immunity of active equipment150 kHz to 25 GHz Screening effectiveness of passive equipment5 MHz to 3 GHz(25 GHz) •specifies requirements for maximum allowed radiation, minimum immunity and minimum screening effectiveness; •describes test methods for conformance testing. Due to the fact that cable networks, the former cabled distribution systems for television and sound signals, are more and more used for interactive services, these networks may incorporate also equipment which carry besides the cable network equipment ports also one or more telecom signal port(s). This equipment shall be named as "multimedia network equipment". Coaxial cables for cable networks do not fall under the scope of this standard. Reference is made to the European Standard series EN 50117 "Coaxial cables used in cabled distribution networks". Standardisation in the field of „Electromagnetic compatibility“ for any user terminals (e.g. tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia terminals etc.) is covered by the European Standards EN 55013 and EN 55020. Requirements for the electromagnetic compatibility of receiver leads are laid down in EN 60966-2-4, EN 60966-2-5 and EN 60966-2-6.
