Draft Designation: DR AS 11801.2:2018
Document Number
11801
Description

This Standard is optimized for premises in which the maximum distance over which telecommunications services can be distributed is 2 000 m. The principles of this Standard can be applied to larger installations.

Cabling specified by this Standard supports a wide range of services including voice, data, and video that can also incorporate the supply of power.

This Standard specifies directly or via reference to AS/NZS ISO/IEC 11801.1—

(a) the structure and minimum configuration for generic cabling within office premises;
(b) the interfaces at the telecommunications outlet (TO);
(c) the performance requirements for cabling links and channels;
(d) the implementation requirements and options;
(e) the performance requirements for cabling components; and
(f) the conformance requirements and verification procedures.

Safety (e.g. electrical safety and protection and fire) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of this Standard, and are covered by other Standards and by regulations. However, information given by this Standard can be of assistance.

This Standard is intended to be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 11801.1, Information Technology — Generic cabling for customer premises, Part 1: General requirements (ISO/IEC 11801‐1:2017, MOD).

This Standard is one of a series of customer cabling Standards addressing design, minimum specification and performance of links and channels, cable/cabling accommodation and installation, conformance testing and administration.

This Standard is part of a series of Standards which are associated with other Australian Standards, Australian/New Zealand Standards and International Standards.

Standards which are part of the series and Standards that are associated with this Standard are as follows:

AS/NZS 11801.1, Information technology—Generic cabling for customer premises, Part 1: General requirements (ISO/IEC 11801‐1:2017, MOD)

This Standard is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, ISO/IEC 11801‐2:2017, Information technology — Generic cabling for customer premises — Part 2: Office premises and its Corrigendum No. 1 (2018). The modifications in Appendix ZZ are additional requirements, which have been added at the end of the source text.

Appendix ZZ lists the variations to ISO/IEC 11801‐2:2017 for the application of this Standard in Australia.

This Standard is structured as follows:

(i) Preface.
(ii) ISO/IEC 11801‐2:2017 (unedited from the contents page to the final clause of the source document) and its Corrigendum No. 1 (2018).
(iii) Appendix ZZ lists the variations to ISO/IEC 11801‐2:2017 for the application of this Standard in Australia.

As this document has been reproduced from an International Standard, the following applies: (A) In the source text “this Part of ISO/IEC 11801” should read “this Australian Standard”. (B) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.

Australian or Australian/New Zealand Standards that are identical adoptions of international normative references may be used interchangeably. Refer to the online catalogue for information on specific Standards.

The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in Standards to define the application of the appendices or annexes to which they apply. A “normative” appendix or annex is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix or annex is only for information and guidance.

Scope

This part of ISO/IEC 11801 specifies generic cabling for use within office premises, which can comprise single or multiple buildings on a campus. It covers balanced cabling and optical fibre cabling.

This document is optimized for premises in which the maximum distance over which telecommunications services can be distributed is 2 000 m. The principles of this document can be applied to larger installations.

Cabling specified by this document supports a wide range of services including voice, data, and video that can also incorporate the supply of power.

This document specifies directly or via reference to ISO/IEC 11801-1:

a) the structure and minimum configuration for generic cabling within office premises,
b) the interfaces at the telecommunications outlet (TO),
c) the performance requirements for cabling links and channels,
d) the implementation requirements and options,
e) the performance requirements for cabling components,
f) the conformance requirements and verification procedures.

Safety (e.g. electrical safety and protection and fire) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of this document, and are covered by other standards and by regulations. However, information given by this document can be of assistance.
