I need to determine the robustness requirements for the outer insulation of an interconnecting cable for ITE when the cable contains hazardous voltages and when the cable will be in the same physical environment as the power cord. Clause 1.5.5 of EN 60950:2000 says that the cable must comply with the relevant requirements of the standard, but those requirements are not further specified in the standard. One might infer that the insulation must be no lighter than the requirements for power cords specified in Clause 3.2.5, but that is not clear. In particular, I need to determine if properly voltage rated computer interconnect cables (e.g., UL style 2464) are sufficiently robust to comply with the standard. Any suggestions on acceptable cable types/styles would be appreciated.
