UNE-EN 50289-1-1:2017

The draft 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.
