About This Item
IEC 61156-5-2:2002 defines requirements for multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables used in digital communications, with transmission characteristics up to 600 MHz and a specific focus on horizontal floor wiring capability approval. For engineering teams, procurement staff, and compliance reviewers, it provides a technical reference for evaluating whether a cable design is suitable for structured cabling applications where signal performance and installation context matter. As a primary technical document, IEC 61156-5-2:2002 supports documented evaluation, product selection, and conformity assessment activities.
Overview of IEC 61156-5-2:2002
The scope of IEC 61156-5-2:2002 is centered on sectional specification requirements for symmetrical pair/quad cables intended for digital communications in horizontal floor wiring environments. Its title indicates a focus on capability approval rather than general system design, making it relevant when verifying cable suitability against defined performance expectations. In technical review workflows, it may be used to align product data, testing evidence, and engineering documentation with the intended transmission band and installation application.
Compliance applications of IEC 61156-5-2:2002
Organizations may use IEC 61156-5-2:2002 during cable product evaluation, laboratory evaluation, and procurement review for cabling intended for building infrastructure or other structured digital communication installations. It can support technical validation of manufacturer claims, internal quality workflows, and preparation for conformity assessment where horizontal floor wiring capability must be documented. The document is also useful when comparing cable families, reviewing technical specifications, or establishing consistent testing workflows for communication cable procurement.
Importance of compliance with IEC 61156-5-2:2002
Compliance with IEC 61156-5-2:2002 helps reduce technical risk by giving engineers and buyers a shared reference for acceptable cable capability in a defined application. It supports interoperability and operational consistency by encouraging repeatable verification activities and clearer product acceptance criteria. For organizations involved in safety, reliability, or regulated procurement processes, the document can strengthen quality assurance, simplify technical assessment, and improve the evidence base used in compliance workflows and engineering validation.
