The objective of this Standard is to specify generic cabling within and to the computer room spaces of data centre premises, or data centre spaces within other types of buildings. It covers balanced cabling and optical fibre cabling.

This Standard is optimized for premises in which the maximum distance over which telecommunications services can be distributed is 2 000 m. The principles of this Standard can also be applied to larger installations.

Cabling specified by this Standard supports a wide range of services including voice, data and video that can also incorporate the supply of power.

This Standard specifies directly or via reference to AS/NZS ISO/IEC 11801.1—

(a) the structure and minimum configurations for generic cabling within data centres;

(b) the interfaces at the equipment outlet (EO) and the external network interface (ENI);

(c) the performance requirements for cabling links and channels;

(d) the implementation requirements and options;

(e) the performance requirements for cabling components; and

(f) the conformance requirements and verification procedures.
