This part of IEC 60728‑101
provides the requirements and describes the implementation guidelines of RF cabling for two-way home networks ; it is applicable to any home network that distributes signals provided by CATV / MATV / SMATV cable networks (including individual receiving systems) having a coaxial cable output.
It is also applicable to home networks where some part of the distribution network uses wireless links, for example in place
of the receiver cord.
This part of IEC 60728
is therefore applicable to RF cabling for two-way home networks with wired cords or wireless links inside a room and primarily intended for television
and sound signals operating between about 5 MHz and 3 300 MHz. The frequency range
is extended to 6 000 MHz for distribution techniques that replace wired cords with
a wireless two-way communication inside a room (or a small number of adjacent rooms)
that uses the 5 GHz to 6 GHz band.
In a building divided into apartment blocks, the distribution of the signals inside
the home starts from the home network interface ( HNI ) up to the system outlet or terminal input. The requirements at the system outlet are given in IEC 60728‑101:2016, Clause 5 and the requirements at the HNI are given in IEC 60728‑101:2016, Clause 7. In Clause 5 of this document, additional requirements are ...
