Supersedes: AS/NZS ISO/IEC 15018:2005 Rec:2016 Information technology - Generic cabling for customer premises, Part 4: Single-tenant homes (ISO/IEC 11801-4:2017, MOD)
Draft Designation: DR AS 11801.4:2018This Standard specifies a generic cabling for two groups of applications—
(a) information and communications technologies (ICT); and
(b) broad cast andc ommunications technologies(BCT).
This Standard specifies directly or via reference to AS/NZS ISO/IEC 11801.1—
(i) the structure and minimum configuration for generic cabling within homes;
(ii) the interfaces at the telecommunications outlet (TO) and broadcast outlet (BO);
(iii) the performance requirements for cabling links and channels;
(iv) the implementation requirements and options;
(v) the performance requirements for cabling components; and
(vi) the conformance requirements and verification procedures.
Safety 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, Australia/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)
AS 11801.2, Information technology—Generic cabling for customer premises, Part 2: Office premises (ISO/IEC 11801‐2:2017, MOD)

This Standard is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, ISO/IEC 11801-4:2017, Information technology — Generic cabling for customer premises — Part 4: Single‐ tenant homes 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 11801‐4:2017 for the application of this Standard in Australia.
This Standard is structured as follows:
(A) Preface.
(B) ISO/IEC 11801‐4:2017 (unedited from the contents page to the final clause of the source document) and its Corrigendum No. 1 (2018).
(C) Appendix ZZ lists the variations to ISO/IEC 11801‐4:2017 for the application of this Standard in Australia.
As this document has been reproduced from an International Standard, the following applies:
(1) In the source text “this part of ISO/IEC 11801” should read “this Australian Standard”.
(2) 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.
Originated as AS/NZS ISO/IEC 15018:2005. Revised and redesignated as AS 11801.4:2019.This part of ISO/IEC 11801 specifies generic cabling for single-tenant homes. A home can contain one or more buildings or can be within a building that contains more than one home. It covers balanced cabling, optical fibre cabling and coaxial cabling.
This document specifies a generic cabling for two groups of applications:
1) information and communications technologies (ICT),
2) broadcast and communications technologies (BCT).
This document specifies directly or via reference to ISO/IEC 11801-1
a) the structure and minimum configuration for generic cabling within homes,
b) the interfaces at the telecommunications outlet (TO) and broadcast outlet (BO),
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 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.
