BS EN 50117 is a series on coaxial cables. Coaxial cables are a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket. BS EN 50117‑9‑2 is a sectional specification that applies to coaxial indoor drop cables for analogue and digital one and two-way signal transmission, e.g., for cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services. This also includes the transmission of BCT signals are provided by a CATV, MATV or SMATV cable network.
BS EN 50117‑9‑2 specifies the applicable test methods and requirements for the electrical, mechanical, and environmental characteristics and for fire performance of the cables.
BS EN 50117‑9‑2 on coaxial cables is applicable to:
For fast, reliable, accurate and long-distance data transfer at high speed, coaxial cables become a desirable solution. Coaxial cable is a type of transmission line, used to carry a high-frequency electrical signal with low losses. It is used in such applications as telephone trunk lines, broadband internet networking cables, high-speed computer data buses, cable television signals, and connecting radio transmitters and receivers to their antennas. Coaxial cable design using BS EN 50117‑9‑2 helps you improve frequency performance, attenuation, power handling capabilities, flexibility, strength.
BS EN 50117‑9‑2 implementation enables conveying the data, video, and voice communication to you which is in a non-attenuated state. BS EN 50117‑9‑2 can also be used extensively in a domestic entity as the transmission of data is rapid and accurate and with less data loss. Using BS EN 50117‑9‑2 you can understand sectional specification that applies to coaxial indoor drop cables for analogue and digital one and two-way signal transmission.
