ITU-T K.59 (12/2025)

عربي | 中文 | English | Español | Français | Русский
Electromagnetic compatibility, resistibility and safety requirements and procedures for connection to unbundled cables
Recommendation ITU-T K.59 aims to establish minimum requirements, procedures and management rules to be followed to take into account electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), resistibility and safety aspects for connection to unbundled cables. With the liberalization of telecommunications, many services are provided by several operators on the same cable. This means that operators, who are not the owner of the cable, may use several pairs in the cable for various services. In this situation, EMC resistibility and safety problems may occur in the cable. Therefore, it is necessary to establish proper requirements and procedures from an EMC point of view.
