Full title and description

Information technology — Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling — Part 2: Planning and installation. This international standard provides requirements and recommendations for planning, installing and operating telecommunications cabling and cabling infrastructures (including cabling, pathways, spaces and telecommunications bonds) in support of generic cabling systems and associated documents.

Abstract

ISO/IEC 14763-2:2019 (Edition 2) specifies the specification of installations, quality assurance, installation planning and practice, documentation and administration, testing, inspection, operation, maintenance and repair for customer premises cabling. The 2019 edition adds guidance for remote powering over telecommunications cabling and extends planning and installation practices to locations outside buildings; it excludes detailed safety and EMC requirements and specific power-supply cabling rules (which are covered elsewhere).

Scope

This document applies to the planning, installation and operation of telecommunications cabling and cabling infrastructures in customer premises. It covers: definition/specification of the installation (scope of work, performance/security/environmental requirements), quality planning and acceptance testing (including sampling and treatment of marginal/non‑compliant results), installation planning and safety, pathway and space design (inside and outside buildings), cable installation, jointing/terminations and closures, telecommunications bonding, documentation and administration, testing and inspection, and procedures for operation, maintenance and repair. It also describes methods to assess spaces, pathways and cabling to support remote powering objectives. The standard does not replace specific power cabling rules or detailed safety/EMC regulations.

Key topics and requirements

• Specification of installations: defining scope, technical/security requirements, environmental constraints and hazard notifications.
• Quality assurance and quality‑planning: quality plans, component specification, sampling strategies and acceptance criteria for balanced copper and optical‑fibre cabling.
• Testing, inspection and acceptance: requirements for post‑installation testing, treatment of marginal and non‑compliant results, and record keeping.
• Installation planning and safety: risk assessment, access and working practices, coordination with other services, and adherence to local regulations.
• Pathways and spaces: design and selection of pathway systems (inside and outside buildings), space assessments and telecommunications bonding requirements.
• Remote powering guidance: methods to plan and assess cabling and pathway systems to support remote powering (for example PoE and similar technologies).
• Documentation and administration: as‑built documentation, labelling, administration records and change‑control procedures.
• Maintenance and repair: planned maintenance, fault diagnosis, repair procedures and lifecycle considerations.

Typical use and users

Adopted by cabling designers, telecommunications and network engineers, installation contractors, building and facilities managers, commissioning/test technicians, QA and compliance personnel, and procurement/specification authors. The standard is used to produce installation specifications, tender documents, installation and test plans, acceptance criteria and maintenance procedures for structured cabling projects in commercial, industrial and some hazardous environments.

Related standards

Key related and referenced documents include ISO/IEC 11801 (generic cabling), ISO/IEC 14763-1 (administration of customer premises cabling), ISO/IEC 14763-3 (test procedures for installed cabling aspects), ISO/IEC 30129 (telecommunications bonding requirements referenced/excluded as appropriate), IEC test standards for balanced cabling (for example IEC/IEEE test procedures) and IEEE 802.3 (Power over Ethernet) when planning for remote powering. National adoptions (for example BS ISO/IEC 14763-2:2019) reflect the international text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers specification of installations, quality assurance and testing, installation planning and practice (including pathways and spaces), documentation and administration, testing and inspection, operation, maintenance and repair, and methods to assess cabling and pathways to support remote powering. It does not replace dedicated electrical power or safety/EMC regulations.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Network and cabling designers, installers and contractors, test and commissioning engineers, facilities managers, procurement/specification teams and QA/compliance staff involved in structured cabling projects.
