Omfang

Application  This Standard applies to the installation and maintenance of fixed or concealed cabling or equipment that is connected, or is intended to be connected, to a telecommunications network, including any cord or cordage, or that part of any cord or cordage, that is connected as fixed or concealed cabling.  This Standard does not apply to—  (a) any electrical power cabling whose primary function is the distribution of AC mains supply, and which is connected to an AC mains supply, but which may also carry telecommunications signals as a secondary function as long as the telecommunications signals originate from the power network or are injected into the power cabling via a compliant interface device;  (b) any cabling used for the connection or distribution of broadcasting services, as defined in the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, that are supplied to the end-user by means of transmission through free air to a receiving radio, television or satellite antenna whether or not such cabling is connected to receiving equipment that is connected to a carrier’s or carriage service provider’s telecommunications network (e.g. via an Ethernet port); and  (c) any cabling on the carrier’s side of the network boundary whether or not such cabling is located in customer premises, e.g. lead-in cabling.  Note 1: Cabling described in Item (a) is subject to AS/NZS 3000.  Note 2: Cabling described in Item (b) is effectively exempted from technical regulation under the Telecommunications Act 1997 and is therefore out of the scope of AS/CA S009.  Date of effect This Standard comes into force as at 1 July 2013. Until that date AS/ACIF S009:2006 remains in force.  Limitations  The requirements in this Standard are generally limited to—  (a) protecting the health and safety of persons; and  (b) protecting the integrity of a telecommunications network or a facility.  However, additional information is provided for guidance.  Basic aims  This Standard covers design and construction practice sufficient to ensure that—  (a) the installation or normal use of the cabling does not expose carrier personnel, cabling providers, customers or other persons to any danger; and  (b) the installation or normal use of the cabling does not adversely affect the integrity (proper end-to-end functioning) of a telecommunications network.  Topics  In achievement of its basic aims, this Standard addresses the following matters:  (a) Connection of the installation to the telecommunications network (network boundary). (b) Protection of the installation from foreseeable physical damage (e.g. impact, weathering, corrosion) or interference from other circuits (e.g. crosstalk, noise).  (c) Mitigation against the effects of earth potential rise and low frequency induction.  (d) Protection of end-users from exposure to hazardous voltages, telecommunications network voltages, radiation hazards or the ingress of dangerous fluids or gases to the building.  (e) Prevention of injury to any person due to the improper installation of such things as catenary supports, pits, access holes or enclosures.  (f) Installation of cabling in hazardous areas (explosive atmospheres).  (g) Protection of carrier personnel, cabling providers and other workers from exposure to site hazards or contact with hazardous services.  (h) Prevention of fire caused by improper installation or use of the cabling, and compliance with the Building Code and Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) requirements.  (i) Identification of lines and services to minimise the risk of accidental interference, improper use or disconnection of telecommunications network services.  (j) Protection of persons from exposure to earthed cables, equipment or objects (including ground) that may be at a different electric potential.  (k) Protection of end-users from overvoltages caused by atmospheric discharges (e.g. lightning) or power system faults.  (l) Prevention of damage to the earthing system of the electrical installation due to electrolytic corrosion caused by DC Currents in the telecommunications earthing system.  Note: This Standard should be read in conjunction with AS/CA S008 which specifies the requirements for cabling products intended for connection to the customer side of the boundary of a telecommunications network.
