EN 50290‑2‑X contains, in its various parts, the requirements for polymeric insulating, sheathing and covering materials that are used for metallic and optical fibre cables ( Table 1).

Table 1
Materials currently used in metallic and optical fibre communication cables (informative)
Standard Application Materials
Insulation/Buffer Sheath
EN 50288 (excluding -7) Multi element metallic cables (data cable) PE, PP, FEP PVC, HFFR-LS, FEP
EN 50288‑7 Multi element metallic cables (instrument, fieldbus & control cable) PVC, PE, PP, XLPE, PA PVC, HFFR-LS ,
EN 50441 Indoor telecom PVC, PE, PP, PVC, HFFR-LS
EN 50407 Outdoor telecom PE, PP PE
EN 50117 Coaxial cables PE, PP, FEP PVC, HFFR-LS , PE, FEP
EN 60794 Optical fibre cables PVC, PP, PBT, TPE, PA, HFFR-LS PVC, PE, HFFR-LS, TPE

The materials to be used for EN standardised communication cables are not, and will not be, restricted only to those defined ( Table 1). New materials for cables will be described in further parts of the series. The current structure of the EN 50290‑2‑NN series is outlined in Annex A.

Furthermore, the use of materials described in the EN 50290‑2‑NN series for other cable applications outside those defined ( Table 1) is not prohibited, but it is strongly recommended that expert advice be taken before such use, or before any proposal for incorporation into another standard.
