Title
CATEGORY 3,5, & 5e INDIVIDUALLY UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR INDOOR CABLES (WITH OR WITHOUT AN OVERALL SHIELD) FOR USE IN GENERAL PURPOSE AND LAN COMMUNICATION WIRING SYSTEMS TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Insulated Cable Engineers Association Inc.
Publication Date:
Jun 6, 2006
Scope:
This Standard covers mechanical, electrical and flammability
requirements for thermoplastic insulated and jacketed, copper
conductor, individually unshielded twisted pair indoor cables, with
or without an overall shield, intended primarily for use as
horizontal cables, backbone cables, or patch cordage. Depending
upon the application and system requirements, this Standard
provides choices for materials, transmission characteristics and
flammability ratings.
This Standard covers the minimum transmission performance
requirements for the following three Categories of cable based on
existing system requirements and projected application needs.
Multi-pair cables, conforming to the generic designation, ARxM, are
not covered by this specification. See instead, ICEA S-103-701.
Category 3: lntended for voice, text, data, video and image
transmission with transmission characteristics specified for
frequencies up to 16 MHz.
Category 5: Intended for voice, text, data, video and image
transmission:
i: Category 5: transmission characteristics specified for
frequencies up to 100 MHz.
ii: Category 5e: enhanced transmission characteristics specified
for - frequencies up to 100 MHz.
PURPOSE: This Standard establishes generic technical
requirements that may be referenced by individual
telecommunications cable specifications covering products intended
for normal indoor premises use in the wiring systems of
communications users. The parameters covered provide material,
construction, and performance requirements.
Because this Standard does not cover all details of individual
cable design, it cannot be used as a single document for
procurement of product. This Standard is intended for use in
conjunction with an individual product specification that provides
complete design details for the specific cable type and designates
the applicable performance requirements. Such individual cable
specifications may be prepared either by the user or the
manufacturer. The specification designated for procurement is at
the option of the user.
