Information technology – Generic cabling for customer premises

Within customer premises, the importance of the cabling infrastructure is similar to that of other fundamental building utilities such as heating, lighting and mains power. This International Standard provides: a) users with an application independent generic cabling system and an open market for cabling components; b) users with a flexible cabling scheme such that modifications are both easy and economical; c) building professionals (for example, architects) with guidance allowing the accom-modation of cabling before specific requirements are known; that is, in the initial planning either for construction or refurbishment; d) industry and applications standardisation bodies with a cabling system which supports current products and provides a basis for future product development. It is a consolidated edition, based on edition 1.0 (1995) and including amendments 1:1999 and 2:1999 as well as corrigendum 1 (December 1996) and corrigendum 2 (June 1997).
