BS EN 50173:1996 is a British Standard that specifies the requirements for generic cabling systems in commercial premises. It covers the design, installation, and testing of cabling systems for various applications, including voice, data, and video.
The standard defines the various components of a cabling system, including cables, connectors, patch cords, and patch panels. It also specifies the performance characteristics of the cabling system, such as attenuation, crosstalk, and impedance.
BS EN 50173:1996 is intended to ensure that cabling systems in commercial premises are reliable, flexible, and able to support a variety of applications. It provides guidance on the installation and testing of cabling systems to ensure that they meet the required performance standards.
Since the publication of BS EN 50173:1996, there have been several revisions to the standard, including BS EN 50173-1:2018 and BS EN 50173-2:2018. These updated standards provide more detailed guidance on cabling systems for specific applications, such as data centers and intelligent buildings.
