About This Item
IEC 61156-4-2:2001 defines a technical reference for multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables used in digital communications, with a focus on riser cables and capability approval. For engineering teams, test laboratories, and procurement specialists, it provides a structured basis for evaluating whether a cable type is suitable for specified communication installations and approval activities. IEC 61156-4-2:2001 is therefore relevant where documented evaluation, technical review, and conformity assessment need to be aligned with a recognized cable specification.
Purpose of IEC 61156-4-2:2001
The purpose of IEC 61156-4-2:2001 is to support the sectional specification for riser cables within the wider family of multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables for digital communications. It is generally used to define the capability approval context for cable designs that are intended for vertical building pathways or similar installed environments. In practice, it helps engineers and compliance teams organize technical validation, compare product documentation, and apply consistent criteria during product evaluation and engineering documentation review.
Compliance applications of IEC 61156-4-2:2001
This reference is commonly used in compliance workflows for communication cabling products that must be reviewed before procurement, installation, or certification activity. It may support testing workflows, laboratory evaluation, and documented assessment of riser cable capability for digital communication systems. Organizations involved in electrical equipment sourcing, building infrastructure planning, or quality assurance can use IEC 61156-4-2:2001 as part of technical compliance preparation, especially when consistency across cable selection, specification review, and conformity assessment is required.
Benefits of IEC 61156-4-2:2001
Using IEC 61156-4-2:2001 helps reduce ambiguity during engineering and procurement decisions by providing a defined technical reference for cable capability approval. It can improve testing consistency, support risk management, and strengthen the evidence base for compliance documentation. For teams responsible for operational consistency and quality workflows, the document may also help streamline technical validation and reduce rework when aligning product data, laboratory results, and project requirements. The result is better preparation for compliance review and more reliable technical assessment.
