Could someone please explain what indirect connection to public telecom network means ? The PC mouse is connected to PC, PC to modem, modem to telephone network (I understand it is public telecom network). So PC mouse _CAN_ be indirectly connected to public telecom network and is under RTTE Directive ! True or false ? Kind Regards, Piotr Galka

A cable modem is also not considered as telecom terminal equipment, but t is part of the network itself. I also belive that the cable network is (still) not considered as a telecom network. Best regards, Kris Carpentier Regulatory & Approvals _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sam Wismer Sent: woensdag 27 juli 2005 14:56 To: EMC Forum Subject: Cable Modems I am looking for the appropriate EU Directive and EMC and/or Telecom standard to apply to cable modems. I suppose a cable modem could be considered indirectly connected to the telecom network making it subject to the R&TTE Directive. Does anyone have any opinions on which Directive to apply and which product standard it fits best into?
