AS/NZS 1367:2016
Coaxial cable and optical fibre systems for the RF distribution of digital television, radio and in-house analog television signals in single and multiple dwelling installations
Specifies requirements and gives guidelines for the design, installation, electrical safety aspects, working performance and final commissioning and ongoing maintenance of a range of radio frequency (RF) distribution systems using passive and active components that will enable the high quality distribution of off-air and in-house television and radio signals in single and multiple unit dwellings, and where required, in other premises such as electrical goods retail stores, and offices.
