The electronic component which does not need any external power supply for its operation or they only pass the electric current is called a passive component. BS EN IEC 62153 series focuses on test methods for metallic communication cables and other passive components. BS EN IEC 62153‑4‑15 discusses electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of metallic cables and other components with the triaxial test procedure. BS EN IEC 62153‑4‑15 specifies the procedures for measuring with triaxial cell the transfer impedance, screening attenuation or the coupling attenuation of connectors, cable assemblies and components, for example, accessories for analogue and digital transmission systems, and equipment for communication networks and cabling.
BS EN IEC 62153‑4‑15 describes different test procedures to measure screening effectiveness on communication cables, connectors and components. The test determines the screening effectiveness of a shielded device by applying a well-defined current and voltage to the screen of the cable, the assembly or the device under test and measuring the induced voltage in the secondary circuit in order to determine the surface transfer impedance. BS EN IEC 62153‑4‑15 specifies the test that measures only the galvanic and magnetic components of the transfer impedance.
BS EN IEC 62153‑4‑15 on metallic cables and other passive components test methods is useful for:
Passive components are the ones that do not need any external power supply for their operation, and they cannot amplify the electrical signal. BS EN IEC 62153‑4‑15 provides you with test procedures used to measure the transfer impedance, screening attenuation, and coupling attenuation on communication cables, connectors and components with a triaxial test set-up. Following BS EN IEC 62153-4-15 metallic communication test method guidelines help to improve cable efficiency and quality of the signal transmitted.
BS EN IEC 62153-4-5 considers factors such as measurements requirements, test set-up arrangement including verification, balun performance characteristics through which you can ensure the strength of metallic communication cables.
With the triaxial test setup described in BS EN IEC 62153‑4‑15, you will be able to measure the transfer impedance at the lower frequency range and the screening attenuation or the coupling attenuation at higher frequencies. Following BS EN IEC 62153‑4‑15 different test procedures and measurement guidelines, you can ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of communication cables, connectors and components.
