This EN 50289-1-6 details four different test methods to determine the electromagnetic performance characteristics of cables used in analogue and digital communication systems. The four methods are detailed in clauses 6 to 9. This document discusses test methods aiming to facilitate a selection of the applicable electromagnetic test method.It is to be read in conjunction with Part 1-1 of EN 50289, which contains essential provisions for its application.
