INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY –
GENERIC CABLING FOR CUSTOMER PREMISES –
FOREWORD
1) ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established
by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical
committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology,
ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC National Committees and ISO member bodies.
3) IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted
by IEC National Committees and ISO member bodies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to
ensure that the technical content of IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications is accurate, IEC or ISO cannot be held
responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees and ISO member bodies undertake to
apply IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and
regional publications. Any divergence between any ISO, IEC or ISO/IEC publication and the corresponding
national or regional publication should be clearly indicated in the latter.
5)
(standards.iteh.ai)
ISO and IEC do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. ISO or IEC are not responsible
for any services carried out by independent certification
ISO/IEC bodies.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or ISO or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of their technical committees and IEC National Committees or ISO member bodies for
any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or
for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication of, use of, or reliance upon, this
ISO/IEC publication or any other IEC, ISO or ISO/IEC publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this ISO/IEC publication may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO/IEC 11801-1 was prepared by subcommittee 25: Interconnection

of information technology equipment, of ISO/IEC joint technical committee 1: Information
technology.
This first edition, together with ISO/IEC 11801-2, cancels and replaces ISO/IEC 11801:2002,
Amendment 1:2008 and Amendment 2:2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) standard re-structured to contain those elements and requirements, that are common to
generic cabling systems (in application fields such as offices and industrial premises),
namely requirements for common elements of topology and transmission performance of
channels, links and related components;
b) addition of balanced cabling channel and link Classes BCT-B, I and II;
c) addition of coaxial cabling channel and link Class BCT-C;
d) addition of balanced cabling component requirements for Category BCT-B, 8.1, and 8.2;
– 12 – ISO/IEC 11801-1:2017 © ISO/IEC 2017
e) addition of coaxial cabling component requirements for Category BCT-C;

f) addition of cabled fibres of Category OS1a, and OM5;
g) removal of silica optical fibre cabling;
h) optical fibre cable OM1, OM2 and OS1 has been moved to an informative annex.
This International Standard has been approved by vote of the member bodies, and the voting
results may be obtained from the address given on the second title page.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the ISO/IEC 11801 series, published under the general title Information
technology – Generic cabling for customer premises, can be found on the IEC website.

INTRODUCTION
This document contains general requirements in support of the other premises-specific
referenced cabling design documents developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25 including
ISO/IEC 11801-2, ISO/IEC 11801-3, ISO/IEC 11801-4, ISO/IEC 11801-5, ISO/IEC 11801-6
and related Technical Reports (including the ISO/IEC TR 11801-99xx series,
ISO/IEC TR 24704, ISO/IEC TR 24750 and ISO/IEC TR 29125).
This document specifies a multi-vendor cabling system which may be implemented with
material from single or multiple sources, and is related to:
a) International Standards for cabling components developed by technical committees of the

IEC, for example copper cables and connectors as well as optical fibre cables and
connectors (see Clause 2 and bibliography);
b) standards for the testing of installed cabling (see Clause 2 and bibliography);
c) applications developed by technical committees of the IEC, by subcommittees of
ISO/IEC JTC 1, by study groups of ITU-T, for example for LANs and ISDN, and by
IEEE 802;
d) planning and installation guides and other standards which take into account the needs of
specific applications for the configuration and the use of cabling systems on customer
premises (e.g. ISO/IEC 14709 series, ISO/IEC 14763 series, ISO/IEC 30129, and ISO/IEC
18598).
Physical layer requirements for the applications listed in Annex E have been analysed to
determine their compatibility with cabling classes specified in this document. These
application requirements, together with statistics concerning premises-specific topologies and
cabling models of the supported standards, have been used to develop the requirements for
(standards.iteh.ai)
balanced, coaxial and optical fibre cabling.
As a result, generic cabling defined within this11801-1:2017

ISO/IEC document:
1) specifies balanced cabling channel and link Classes A, B, C, D, E, E A , F, F A , I and II
0f418468facc/iso-iec-11801-1-2017
meeting both the requirements of standardized applications and to support the
development and implementation of future applications;
2) specifies balanced cabling channel and link Class BCT-B to support the delivery of BCT
applications;
3) specifies coaxial cabling channel and link Class BCT-C to support the delivery of BCT
applications;
4) specifies optical fibre cabling meeting the requirements of standardized applications and
exploiting component capabilities to ease the implementation of applications developed in
the future;
5) invokes component requirements and specifies cabling implementations that ensure
performance of links and of channels that meet or exceed the requirements for cabling
classes.
Figure 1 shows the schematic and contextual relationships between the standards relating to
information technology cabling produced by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25, namely the ISO/IEC 11801
series of standards for generic cabling design, standards for the installation, operation and
administration of generic cabling and for testing of installed generic cabling.
