The objective of this Standard specifies generic cabling for use within industrial premises, or industrial areas within other types of premises, which can comprise single or multiple buildings on a campus. It covers balanced cabling and optical fibre cabling.

This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee CT-001, Communications Cabling. AS/NZS 11801.1 in conjunction with AS 11801.3, supersedes AS/NZS 24702:2007, Telecommunications installations — Generic cabling — Industrial premises.

This Standard is optimized for premises in which the maximum distance over which telecommunications services can be distributed is 10 000 m. The principles of this Standard can be applied to larger installations.

Cabling defined by this Standard supports a wide range of services, including automation, process control, and monitoring applications. That can also incorporate the supply of power.

This Standard specifies directly or via reference to AS/NZS ISO/IEC 11801‑1—

(a) the structure and minimum configuration for generic cabling within industrial premises;

(b) the interfaces at the telecommunications outlet (TO);

(c) the performance requirements for cabling links and channels;

(d) the implementation requirements and options;

(e) the performance requirements for cabling components; and

(f) the conformance requirements and verification procedures.

The cabling providing critical automation, process control and monitoring applications within the automation islands is not addressed by this Standard. Information for this application specific cabling is provided in the IEC 61784‑5series (design) and in IEC 61918 (installation).
