Conducted RF -
IEC 61000-4-6
3 Vrms
150 kHz to 80 MHz
3Vw Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no
closer to any part of Dual Pex, including cables, than the recommended
separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency
of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance
d=1.2√P
d=1.2√P 800 MHz ~800 MHz
d=2.3√P 800 MHz ~2.5 GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W)
according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation
distance in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined
by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in
each frequency range.**
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following
symbol:
Radiated RF -

80 MHz to 2.5 GHz

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected be absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for ratio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicated theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which Dual Pex is used exceeds the applicable RF
