About This Item
IEC 61156-2:2010 defines technical requirements for multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables used in digital communications, with transmission characteristics up to 100 MHz and a focus on horizontal floor wiring. For engineering teams, procurement specialists, and compliance reviewers, it serves as a practical reference when evaluating cable suitability for structured cabling projects, documented evaluation, and technical validation. The edition and original publication date provide useful context for specification control and revision tracking within quality workflows.
IEC 61156-2:2010 standard overview
This document is the primary technical reference for symmetrical pair and quad cables intended for digital communications in horizontal floor wiring applications. IEC 61156-2:2010 is relevant when organizations need a compliance reference for cable selection, product evaluation, or laboratory evaluation against defined transmission performance needs up to 100 MHz. It supports engineering documentation, testing workflows, and conformity assessment activities where consistent cable characteristics are important for network reliability and operational consistency.
Applications of IEC 61156-2:2010
The scope is most relevant to structured cabling and data communication installations where multicore and symmetrical pair or quad cables are specified for horizontal runs. It may be used in project specifications, supplier reviews, and verification activities for building cabling, telecommunications infrastructure, and related electrical equipment installations. Technical assessment teams and test laboratories may also use it to align product evaluation with expected transmission behavior and to support regulatory preparation and procurement decisions.
Why IEC 61156-2:2010 matters
Using IEC 61156-2:2010 helps reduce risk by giving stakeholders a common basis for technical review, quality assurance, and conformity assessment preparation. For cable manufacturers, distributors, integrators, and end users, it supports clearer procurement comparisons and more consistent acceptance criteria. In practical workflows, it can improve testing consistency, strengthen engineering validation, and help ensure that installed cabling meets the performance criteria expected for reliable digital communications.
