NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) which is identical with IEC 61156-2 : 2010 ‘Multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables for digital communications - Part 2: Symmetrical pair/quad cables with transmission characteristics up to 100 MHz - Horizontal floor wiring - Sectional specification’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Wires, Cables, Waveguides and Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

The text of IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
