BS EN IEC 60728-113:2018

What is BS EN IEC 60728-113 - Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services about?  

BS EN IEC 60728 is a series on cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services. Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services are networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share printers, scanners etc. BS EN IEC 60728-113 is applicable to optical transmission systems for broadcast signal transmission that consists of headend equipment, optical transmission lines, in-house wirings, and system outlets. These systems are primarily intended for television and sound signals using digital transmission technology. BS EN IEC 60728-113 specifies the basic system parameters and methods of measurement for optical distribution systems between headend equipment and system outlets in order to assess the system performance and its performance limits. 

BS EN IEC 60728-113 is applicable to broadcast signal transmission using a telecommunication network if it satisfies the optical portion of BS EN IEC 60728-113. BS EN IEC 60728-113 describes RF transmission for the fully digitalized broadcast and narrowcast (limited area distribution of broadcast) signals over FTTH and introduces the xPON system as a physical layer media. 

Note 1: BS EN IEC 60728-113 does not include IP transport technologies, such as IP Multicast and associate protocols. 

Who is BS EN IEC 60728-113 - Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services for? 

BS EN IEC 60728-113 on cable networks is useful for: 

• Telecommunication equipment manufacturers 
• IT sector 
• Television signal providers 
• Design engineers 
• Quality control personnel 

Why should you use BS EN IEC 60728-113 - Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services?  

Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cables, optical fibre cables, and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network's physical layer, topology, and size BS EN IEC 60728-113 deals with cable networks, including equipment and associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing and distribution of television and sound signals and for processing, interfacing and transmitting all kinds of data signals for interactive services using all applicable transmission media. These signals are typically transmitted in networks by frequency-multiplexing techniques. 

Regional and local broadband cable networks, extended satellite and terrestrial television distribution systems, individual satellite and terrestrial television receiving systems, and all kinds of equipment, systems and installations used in such cable networks, distribution and receiving systems are described in BS EN IEC 60728-113. In BS EN IEC 60728-113 the upper signal frequency is limited at about 1 000 MHz. The purpose of BS EN IEC 60728-113 is to describe the system specifications of FTTH (fibre to the home) networks for digitally modulated broadcast signal transmission. Using BS EN IEC 60728-113 you can specify the basic system parameters and methods of measurement for optical distribution systems.
