Coaxial cables - Part 10-2: Sectional specification for coaxial cables for analoque and digital signal transmission - Outdoor drop cables for systems operating at 5 MHz - 3 000 MHz

This European Standard relates to EN 50117-1 and should be read in conjunction with this generic specification. This specification applies to coaxial outdoor drop cables for analogue and digital signal transmission, e.g. for cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services in accordance with EN 60728 series and with the EN 50173 and EN 50174 series.
Cables according to this standard are designed for an operating temperature range from -40 °C and +70 °C  and at frequencies between 5 MHz and 3 000 MHz.
The purpose of this European Standard is to specify the applicable test methods and requirements for the electrical, mechanical, and environmental and fire performance of the cables.

4 Requirements for cable construction and design
4.1 General
Cables according to this standard are designed for an operating temperature range from −40 °C to
)
1
+70 °C and at frequencies between 5 MHz and 3 000 MHz.
When designing the cable, consideration should be given to the maximum admissible current
stated in the detail specification. It is assumed that the raise of temperature of the inner conductor
when submitted to the maximum current under nominal ambient conditions does not affect the
mechanical and electrical properties of the cable.
Cables according to this standard may be operated at voltages > 50 V AC or > 75 V DC according
to the detail specification of the manufacturer. However, these cables are not intended for direct
connection to the mains electricity supply or other low impedance sources.
———————
1) This value is valid for applications without ampacity only, see also Table A.1 concerning max. DC current.
