DC Resistance (Ohm/km) ≤ 88 ≤ 57.4 ≤ 32.16 ≤ 22.7 ≤ 15.47 ≤ 9.36 ≤ 5.61

Insulation: Polyethylene (PE) or Foam PE (FPE) for PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or Halogen-Free (HFFR) sheathed cables. And Halogen-Free (HFFR) for HFFR sheathed cables. All insulations are in accordance with BS EN 50290-2, good strippable and coloured. The colours are not interchangeable. Pair = two twisted – colour coded – wires. Individually screened pair (if applicable): one pair wrapped with an Aluminium/Polyester foil under which a drain wire. Cable core: two or more (individually screened) pairs stranded. Good twisting (lay-length < 30 ~ 40D) is necessary otherwise the cable can hardly be bending and will break after a few bends. Drain wire (only in combination with a screen): stranded tinned copper wires. In order to avoid corrosion, it is recommended that drain wires are tinned. Screen (if applicable): Helically applied (= as a spiral) Aluminium/Polyester (Alpet) foil. For the flexibility of a cable a helically applied foil is to be preferred. A longitudinally applied foil act more as a stiff tube = more difficult to bend. Braiding (if applicable): tinned copper wires. Sheath: grey PVC , black PE or purple HFFR, all in accordance with BS EN 50290-2. Cable Configuration Insulation Sheath PE, FPE or PVC

Section 2 - BT BMS-TECTM - Multi-Conductor Cables

Application and Construction 1. Application All PVC and HFFR sheathed multi-conductor cables are suitable for Building Management Systems (BMS), Sound, Audio, Security, Safety, Control and Instrumentation. 2. Basic Construction of the cables Wire = Conductor without or with insulation. With insulation sometimes also indicated as core. Conductor: flexible = twisted bare or tinned copper strands, ranging from 12 to 22AWG. Conductor (AWG) 24 22 20 18 16 14 12

configuration (AWG) 7 x 32 7 x 30 7 x 28 7 x 26 19 x 29 19 x 27 19 x 25

configuration (mm) 7 x 0.2 7 x 0.25 7 x 0.32 7 x 0.40 19 x 0.28 19 x 0.36 19 x 0.45

DC Resistance (Ohm/km) ≤ 88 ≤ 57.4 ≤ 32.16 ≤ 22.7 ≤ 15.47 ≤ 9.36 ≤ 5.61

Insulation: Polypropylene (PP) for PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) sheathed cables and Halogen-Free (HFFR) for HFFR sheathed cables. Both insulations are in accordance with BS EN 50290-2. Good strippable and coloured insulation. The colours are not interchangeable. Colour scheme of wires with 12 or 14 AWG conductors: black-white-red-green-brown-blue-orange-yellow-purlpe-grey-pinktan. Colour scheme of wires with ≥ 16AWG conductors: black-red-white-green-brown-blue-orange-yellow-purlpe-grey-pink-tan. Cable core: two or more wires, twisted. Good twisting (lay-length < 30 – 40D) is necessary otherwise the cable can hardly be bending and will break after a few bends. Drain wire (only in combination with a screen): stranded tinned copper wires. In order to avoid corrosion, it is recommended that drain wires are tinned. Screen (if applicable): Helically applied (= as a spiral) Aluminium/Polyester (Alpet) foil. For the flexibility of a cable a helically applied foil is to be preferred. A longitudinally applied foil act more as a stiff tube = more difficult to bend. Sheath: grey PVC or purple HFFR or black UV-resistant HFFR, all in accordance with BS EN 50290-2. Cable configurations Insulation Sheath Retardancy Retardant acc. to Low Smoke emission acc. to Halogen-free acc. to RoHS compliant

Section 5 - BT Security-Tec ™– Coaxial Cables

Application and Construction of Coax Cables for 75 Ohm Video Systems Applications. CCTV: Closed Circuit Television is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors SMATV: Satellite Master Antenna Television used to deliver signals to multiple dwelling units (e.g., apartment buildings and trailer parks). CATV: Central Antenna Television = Cable television is a system of providing television to consumers via radio frequency signals transmitted to televisions. Nowadays also used for internet and telephone. HDTV: High-definition television refers to video having resolution substantially higher than traditional television systems. Telecom and networking: a number of special cable constructions. Basic Cable Design. Coaxial cables are designed to carry radio frequency current of a much higher frequency than the 50 or 60 Hz used in low voltage cables. And this requires special construction to prevent power losses. If an ordinary wire is used to carry high frequency currents, the wire acts as an antenna, and the high frequency currents radiate off the wire as radio waves, causing power losses. To prevent this, in coaxial cable one of the conductors is formed into a tube and encloses the other conductor. This confines the radio waves from the central conductor to the space inside the tube. To prevent the outer conductor, or shield, from radiating, it is connected to electrical ground, keeping it at a constant potential. The dimensions and spacing of the conductors must be uniform throughout the length of the cable. Any abrupt change in the spacing of the two conductors along the cable tends to reflect radio frequency power back toward the source. This acts as a bottleneck, reducing the amount of power reaching the destination end of the cable. Choosing the correct 75 ohm coax cable. Most coaxial cables for video applications have a nominal impedance of 75 ohms. Their differing electrical and physical characteristics make it important to select the correct type of cable to suit the application. RG59 Analogue TV

Pairs: all pairs consist of two twisted wires with a lay-length < 40 D. Cable Cores: all cable cores consist of stranded wires or pairs Foil screens for multi-core and multi-pair cables, screens or shields mostly consist of an aluminium foil laminated to polyester, broadly known as Alpet. These foils are helically (as a spiral) applied with sufficient overlap to guarantee 115 % or more coverage. . For the flexibility of a cable a helically applied foil is to be preferred. A longitudinally applied foil act more as a stiff tube = more difficult to bend. A drain wire or continuity wire, contacting the aluminium side of the foil, is used for the termination of the screen and also to ground electrostatic discharges. In case the screen of a coaxial cable where the screen may be a foil, this foil will be applied longitudinally and will also be bonded to the dielectric around the conductor. Braided screens consist of 16 or 24 groups of strands. One set of 8 or 12 strands is woven clockwise and the other set of 8 or 12 strands anti-clockwise. Strands can consist of tinned or bare copper or aluminium wires. Braided screens provide good screening efficiency and flexibility. Higher coverage provides better screening. Sheaths: grey PVC, purple HFFR or black for PE, all in accordance with BS EN 50290-2. Sheath

GLOSSARY Cat 8 Cable supports frequencies up to 1200 Mhz. Under development. No applications yet.

A = Amp: Ampere = unit of electric current. AC: Alternating current, e.g. 50 or 60 Hz AC power. ACR: Attenuation Crosstalk Ratio. The difference between attenuation and crosstalk. Important characteristic in transmission to assure that the transmitted signal is stronger at the receiving end of the cable than are any interference signals imposed on that same pair by crosstalk from other pairs. Alpet: aluminium foil covered with polyester.

CATV: Community Antenna Television, also often used to mean Cable TV. It is a system of providing television to consumers through or optical fibre cables. High-speed Internet, telephony, and similar non-television services may also be provided. CCTV: Closed-circuit television is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. Circuit integrity refers to the operability of electrical circuits during a fire. It is a form of fire-resistance rating.

Alu braid: braiding of woven aluminium wires ANSI: American National Standards Institute Attenuation: The gradual loss in intensity of signals in electrical circuits. AWG: American wire gauge, is a standardized wire gauge system used since 1857 predominantly in the United States and Canada for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. BT Cables: a leading manufacturer of communication cables. B.C. = BC: Bare Copper, mostly referring to a conductor or braid. Bending radius: the radius that a cable can be bent without any detrimental effects on transmission performance.

Coaxial Cable or coax: an electrical cable with a centre conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer = the dielectric, surrounded by a tubular conducting screen = the outer conductor, surrounded by an outer sheath. The term coaxial comes from the centre conductor and the outer screen sharing the same geometric axis. Conductor: most familiar conductors are metallic. Copper or tinned copper is the most common material used for electrical wiring. Silver is also in use as a conductor and out performs copper, but is more expensive. Continuity Wire: see Drain Wire.

Braid or Braiding: is a structure or pattern formed by intertwining of commonly 16 or 24 strands of wires.

Crosstalk (XT): any phenomenon by which a signal transmitted on one circuit of a transmission system creates an undesired effect in another circuit. Crosstalk is usually caused by undesired capacitive, inductive, or conductive coupling from one circuit (mostly a pair) to another (pair).

B.S: British Standards are the standards produced by BSI Group which is incorporated under a Royal Charter (and which is formally designated as the National Standards Body (NSB) for the UK).

Current: electric current is a flow of electric charge through a medium. This flowing electric charge is typically carried by moving electrons in a conductor such as wire. The unit of current is Ampere.

Cable core: two or more wires or pairs stranded. Good twisting is necessary otherwise the cable can hardly be bent and will lose performance after a few bends.

DC Resistance: the resistance of an object is defined as the ratio of voltage across it to the direct current through it. The unit of resistance is Ohm.

Category cables: high performance twisted pair cables for local area networking = structured wiring or cabling. Cables range from Cat 3 to Cat 7a. The higher the number, the greater the bandwidth and the better the performance.

Dielectric: the insulation between centre and outer conductor (screen) of coaxial cables. Mostly solid or foam (= cellular) polyethylene (PE).

Cat 3 Cable supports 10 Base-T Standard for bandwidths up to 10 Mbps over a maximum distance of 100 meters. They can support frequencies up to 10 Mhz. Cat 5/5e Cable supports 100 Base-T Standard for bandwidths up to 100 Mbps over a maximum distance of 100 meters. They can support frequencies up to 100 Mhz. Cat 5e cables can also support 1000 Base-T. Cat 6 Cable supports 1000 Base-T Standard for bandwidths up to 1000 Mbps over a maximum distance of 100 meters. Cat 6 standard can support frequencies up to 250 Mhz. They also support 10GE (10Gig Ethernet) bandwidth over limited distances. Cat 6A Cable supports 10G Base-T standard for bandwidths up to 10 Gbps over a maximum distance of 100 meters. Cat 6A standard can support frequencies up to 500 Mhz. Cat 7 Cable supports 10G Base-T standard for bandwidths up to 10 Gbps over a maximum distance of 100 meters. Cat 7 standard can support frequencies up to 600 Mhz. It offers better performance and improved cross talk suppression over the Cat 6A cables. Cat 7A Cable supports 10G Base-T standard for bandwidths up to 10 Gbps over a maximum distance of 100 meters. In addition to this, they can also support 40 Gbps bandwidth for around 50 meters and 100 Gbps bandwidth for around 15 meters. They support frequencies up to 1000 Mhz.

Distortion: the alteration of the original shape (or other characteristic) of an object, image, sound, waveform or other form of information or representation. Distortion is usually unwanted, and often many methods are employed to minimize it in practice. Drain wire: a conductor in contact with the foil (of a screen) in order to terminate the screen. Also referred to as a Continuity Wire. The preferred drain wire is tinned copper wire or wires. Decibel (dB): is a logarithmic unit that indicates the ratio of a physical quantity (usually power or intensity) relative to a specified or implied reference level. A ratio in decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of two power quantities. ELFEXT: the Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT) test measures FarEnd Crosstalk (FEXT). FEXT is very similar to NEXT, but happens at the receiver side of the connection. Due to impedance on the line, crosstalk diminishes the signal as it gets further away from the transmitter. Because of this, FEXT is usually less detrimental to a signal than NEXT, but still important nonetheless. EIA: the Electronic Industri8es Association ceased operations on 28 February 2011.

EN: European Norms maintained by CEN (European Committee for Standardization), CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). Farad: the unit of capacitance. FPE: Foam Polyethylene (PE) = closed cells with gas in PE in order to reduce the dielectric constant. Often used as dielectric in coaxial cables. The gas may be generated by chemical decomposition during extrusion of the insulation (dielectric) referred to as chemical foaming or blowing, or by injection into the polymer melt within the extruder (physical foaming or blowing).

Lay-length: The length measured along the axis of a wire or cable required for a single strand (in stranded wire) or conductor (in cable) to make one complete turn about the axis of the conductor or cable. In a twisted pair cable, the lay length is the distance it takes for the two wires to completely twist around each other. Lay length is also known as pitch length. Local Area Network (LAN): any communication network for connecting computers within a building or small group of buildings. m = metre: S. I. unit of measure of length.

FAS Cables: cables for fire detection and alarm systems Far end crosstalk (FEXT): Interference between two pairs of a cable measured at the other end of the cable from the transmitter. FR: can mean Flame Retardant or Fire Retardant or Fire Resistant. Flame Retardant: are cables passing the vertical wire test of IEC 60332-1 or UL 1581 VW-1). Fire Retardant: are cables passing the bundle test of IEC 60332-2-24 or UL 1685 Vertical Tray. Fire Resistant are cables with a circuit integrity of a specified time. Frequency: is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

MHz = MegaHertz: . 1 MHz = one million Hertz. Near End Crosstalk (NEXT): Interference between two pairs in a cable measured at the same end of the cable as the transmitter. Operating temperature (range): the temperature range at which the cable can operate. Polyolefin: is a polymer produced by polymerisation of a simple olefin (also called an alkene) as a monomer, for example Polyethylene or Polypropylene. PA = Polyamide PE = Polyethylene. PP = Polypropylene. PVC = Polyvinyl Chloride. Power Sum ELFEXT (PSELFEXT): is the sum of FEXT values from 3 wire pairs as they affect the other wire pair.

G.P. Bus: General Purpose Bus Application Headroom: in case of testing category cables this is the average of the difference between worst case margin and the specified value.

Pair: two twisted insulated wires, normally colour coded. Quad: a four conductor cable core or unit, symmetrical stranded or twisted together.

Henry (H): unit of inductance. Hertz (Hz): unit of frequency. 1 Hz means that an event repeats once per second. HFFR = Halogen-Free, Flame or Fire Retardant Impedance: the ratio of voltage applied to the current is called the input impedance. The input impedance of the infinite line is called the characteristic impedance. Insertion Loss: also referred to as attenuation, refers to the loss of signal strength at the far end of a line compared to the signal that was introduced into the line. This loss is due to the electrical resistance of the copper cable, the loss of energy through the cable insulation and the impedance caused by the connectors. Insertion loss is usually expressed in decibels dB with a minus sign. Insertion loss increases with distance and frequency. For every 6dB of loss, the original signal will be half the original amplitude. Inductance: is the property of an electrical circuit causing voltage to be generated proportional to the rate of change in current in a circuit. This property also is called self inductance to discriminate it from mutual inductance, describing the voltage induced in one electrical circuit by the rate of change of the electric current in another circuit. Insulation: insulations are coatings applied to wires to isolate the conductors. Insulation materials are applied to provide good strippable and interchangeable colour. The physical properties are in accordance with BS EN 50290-2. Individually screened pair: a pair with a helically applied (= as a spiral) Aluminium/Polyester (Alpet) foil. A drain wire is normally applied under the screen to provide continuity and ease of tern=miantion.

Jacket = sheath. This is the outer protective polymer surrounding the cable core.

Rated Temperature: the maximum continuous temperature that the cable can withstand during its lifetime. It is generally limited by the thermal aging characteristics of the plastics used to insulate and/or sheath the wire. Rated Voltage: the maximum voltage at which a cable can operate for extended periods without undue degradation or safety hazard. Resistance: the electrical resistance of a conductor measures its opposition to the passage of an electric current; the inverse quantity is electrical conductance, measuring how easily electricity flows along a certain path. The unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω), while electrical conductance is measured in Siemens (S). Return Loss (RL): the Return or Reflection Loss of a line is the ratio of the power reflected back from the line to the power transmitted into the line. RL is expressed in decibels (dB). The RL of coaxial cables is the loss of signal power resulting from the reflection caused at a discontinuity in the cable. This discontinuity can be fluctuations in dimensions and/or dielectric. Return Loss is also one of many parameters regulated by the requirements established for Category 5e and onwards cables. It is a measure of the reflected energy from a transmitted signal. The larger the value, the less energy that is reflected. Poor Return Loss figures of a circuit are quite often caused by poor termination (connectors). Screen: a cable screen acts as a Faraday cage to reduce electrical noise from affecting the signals, and to reduce electromagnetic radiation that may interfere with other parts in a cable or other cables. The screen minimizes capacitive coupled noise from other electrical sources. For more info regarding screens: see also the Technical Information section.

Sheath: the outer covering of a cable, standard in accordance with BS EN 50290-2 and grey for PVC, purple for HFFR and black for PE. Shield = screen. SMATV = Satellite Master Antenna Television, and refers to a system that uses multiple satellite and broadcast signals to create a single integrated cable signal for distribution to a cabling network Solid BC: one solid conductor of bare copper. Solid TC: one solid conductor of tinned copper T.C. = TC = Tinned Copper Conductor TIA: the Telecommunications Industry Association is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop voluntary industry standards for a wide variety of telecommunications products. Twisted pair: a type of wiring in which two conductors are twisted together for the purposes of cancelling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources; for instance, electromagnetic radiation from unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables, and crosstalk between neighbouring pairs. Volt = Voltage = unit of electric, expressed with the symbol V. Wire = Conductor with Insulation. Sometimes also indicated as Core.
