About This Item
IEC 61156-13:2023 defines a technical reference for multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables for digital communications, with a specific focus on symmetrical single pair cables with transmission characteristics up to 20 MHz for horizontal floor wiring. For engineering teams, procurement specialists, and compliance reviewers, it provides a structured basis for product evaluation, documented assessment, and technical validation. The document is relevant where cabling selection, installation planning, and performance consistency must be aligned with recognized requirements in a communications infrastructure workflow.
What is IEC 61156-13:2023?
IEC 61156-13:2023 is part of the IEC 61156 series and serves as a sectional specification for a defined cable type used in digital communications. Its scope is centered on symmetrical single pair cables intended for horizontal floor wiring, with transmission characteristics up to 20 MHz. In practice, it is used as a compliance reference when assessing construction, performance expectations, and suitability for structured cabling documentation, technical review, and laboratory evaluation.
Applications of IEC 61156-13:2023
This document is relevant wherever single pair cabling is considered for horizontal floor wiring in communication systems that require controlled transmission behavior. It may support design review, product qualification, and installation planning for building infrastructure, industrial communication networks, and other wired environments where operational consistency matters. Laboratories and test teams may also use it during verification activities, while procurement groups can rely on it to compare candidate products against a defined engineering specification.
Why is IEC 61156-13:2023 important?
IEC 61156-13:2023 helps organizations reduce ambiguity in cable selection and assessment by tying the product category to a recognized technical framework. That supports conformity assessment, quality workflows, and risk management when comparing materials, specifying systems, or preparing technical documentation. It is especially useful where interoperability, repeatable testing, and compliance preparation depend on a clear understanding of cable performance for horizontal floor wiring applications. For many teams, it strengthens technical review and procurement decisions with a more defensible baseline.
