PD IEC TS 62153-4-1:2014+A1:2020

This standard PD IEC TS 62153-4-1:2014+A1:2020 Metallic communication cable test methods is classified in these ICS categories:

• 33.100.10 Emission
• 33.100.01 Electromagnetic compatibility in general
• 33.120.10 Coaxial cables. Waveguides

This part of IEC 62153 deals with screening measurements. Screening (or shielding) is one basic way of achieving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). However, a confusingly large number of methods and concepts is available to test for the screening quality of cables and related components, and for defining their quality. This technical specification gives a brief introduction to basic concepts and terms trying to reveal the common features of apparently different test methods. It is intended to assist in correct interpretation of test data, and in the better understanding of screening (or shielding) and related specifications and standards.
