What is BS EN 50117-1 - Coaxial cables about?
BS EN 50117 is a series on coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is a type of transmission line, used to carry a high-frequency electrical signal with low losses. BS EN 50117-1 covers generic specifications of coaxial cables for use in analogue and digital systems. Coaxial cables covered by BS EN 50117-1 operate in transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM) and are suitable for use in a wide range of digital and analogue applications including CATV, radiofrequency systems, instrumentation, broadcasting, telecommunications and data network systems.
Generally, cables are designed for use in 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm characteristic impedance systems, although other types (e.g., 93/95 Ohm) are also covered in BS EN 50117-1. Coaxial cables are defined by BS EN 50117-1 may be incorporated into hybrid cable constructions with optical fibre or multi-element cable components. All cables covered by BS EN 50117-1 may be subjected to voltages greater than 50 V AC or 75 V DC according to the relevant sectional or detail specification. However, these cables are not intended for direct connection to the mains electricity supply or other low impedance sources.
