What is BS EN 60728-6 - Optical equipment about?
BS EN 60728-6 is a safety standard on cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services. BS EN 60728-6 is the sixth part of the BS EN 60728 multi-series on cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services that lays down the measuring methods, performance requirements, and data publication requirements of optical equipment of cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services.
BS EN 60728-6:
- Applies to all optical transmitters, receivers, amplifiers, directional couplers, isolators, multiplexing devices, connectors, and splices used in cable networks
- Covers the frequency range 5 MHz to 3 000 MHz
- Identifies guaranteed performance requirements for certain parameters
- Lays down data publication requirements with guaranteed performance
- Describes methods of measurement for compliance testing
Who is BS EN 60728-6 - Optical equipment for?
BS EN 60728-6 on optical equipment is useful for:
- Cable operators
- Manufacturers of headend equipment
- Headend technicians and engineers
- Installers of headend equipment
Why should you use BS EN 60728-6 - Optical equipment?
BS EN 60728 series deal with cable networks including equipment and associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing and distribution of television signals, sound signals, and their associated data signals, and for processing, interfacing, and transmitting all kinds of signals for interactive services using all applicable transmission media.
The extent of this standardization work is from the antennas and/or special signal source inputs to the headend or other interface points to the network up to the terminal input of the customer premises equipment. The standardization work considers coexistence with users of the RF spectrum in wired and wireless transmission systems. The standardization of any user terminals (i.e., tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia terminals, etc.) as well as of any coaxial, balanced, and optical cables and accessories thereof is excluded.
Overall, BS EN 60728-6 is useful as it aids in the distribution network or system designed to provide sound and television signals received by satellite receiving antenna and terrestrial receiving antenna to households in one or more buildings.
