scope:

This part of IEC 61935 specifies reference measurement procedures for cabling parameters and the requirements for field tester accuracy to measure cabling parameters identified in ISO/IEC 11801. References in this standard to ISO/IEC 11801 mean ISO/IEC 11801 or equivalent cabling standards. This International Standard applies when the cable assemblies are constructed of cables complying with the IEC 61156 family of standards, and connecting hardware as specified in IEC 60603-7 family of standards or IEC 61076-3-104 and IEC 61076-3-110. In the case where cables and/or connectors do not comply with these standards, then additional tests may be required. This standard is organized as follows: • reference laboratory measurement procedures on cabling topologies are specified in Clause 4. In some cases, these procedures may be used in the field; • descriptions and requirements for measurements in the field are specified in Clause 5; • performance requirements for field testers and procedures to verify performance are specified in Clause 6.
