Question

Which test limit standard should I use in Europe

Answer

For the EU market, the test limits for network cabling typically follow:
Copper Cabling: Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801, aligned with CENELEC wiring standards and often referenced by BS EN 50173.
Fibre Optic Cabling: Testing against ISO/IEC 11801, and BS EN 50173 for performance parameters relevant to multimode and single-mode fibres.
Ensuring that your cabling installation meets these standards is crucial for performance, reliability, and compliance with industry regulations. Always refer to the latest versions of these standards and consult with industry experts or certification bodies as needed.
