Scope

This part of IEC 60728 applies to system outlets, splitters and taps, passive single or multiple port equipment comprising filters, attenuators, equalizers, galvanic isolators, power injectors, cable splices, terminating resistors and transfer points, but excluding coaxial cables and receiver leads (see 5.2). This standard • covers the frequency range 5 MHz to 3 000 MHz; • identifies performance requirements for certain parameters; • lays down data publication requirements for certain parameters; • stipulates methods of measurements; • introduces minimum requirements defining quality grades. There are three grades for all passive equipment except system outlets where there is only one. Different networks require the same performance and, when integrating networks, upgrading will be avoided. Practical experience has shown that these three grades meet most of the technical requirements necessary for supplying a minimum signal quality to the subscribers. This classification should not be considered as a requirement but as information for users and manufacturers on the minimum quality criteria of the material required to install networks of different sizes. The system operator should select appropriate material to meet the minimum signal quality at the subscriber's outlet and to optimize cost/performance, taking into account the size of the network and local circumstances. All requirements and published data should be understood as guaranteed values within the specified frequency range and in well-matched conditions.
