Products <\/p>\n
This Standard covers optical fiber communications cable intended
\nfor outdoor use and normally installed aerially, directly buried,
\nor placed in underground ducts. Additional requirements are
\nincluded in Annex D for "figure-8" aerial self-supporting cables
\nand in Annex F for all-dielectric self-support cables, as
\nappropriate. Materials, constructions, and performance requirements
\nare included in the Standard, together with applicable test
\nprocedures. Refer to other published ICEA (TIA) cable product
\nstandards for information on optical fiber cable requirements for
\nother applications: <\/p>\n

\n(TIA-472C000-C) <\/p>\n
\u2022 S-104-696: Indoor-outdoor optical fiber cable
\n(ANSI\/TIA-472E000) <\/p>\n
\u2022 S-110-717: Optical fiber drop cable (ANSI\/TIA-472F000) <\/p>\n
\u2022 S-112-718: Optical fiber cable for placement in sewer
\nenvironments (TIA- 472G000) <\/p>\n
Applications <\/p>\n
Space Products covered by this Standard are intended for
\noperation only under conditions normally found in communications
\nsystems. These products normally convey communications signals
\n(voice, video, and data) from point-to-point or
\npoint-to-multipoint, external to buildings. Products covered by
\nthis Standard may be factory terminated with connectors or splicing
\nmodules. <\/p>\n
When a composite cable is required, the applicable metallic
\nconductor requirements shall be as established by agreement between
\nthe end user and the cable manufacturer. The requirements of
\nANSI\/ICEA S-84-608 should be considered when determining
\nappropriate requirements. <\/p>\n
Temperature Ranges <\/p>\n
The normal temperature ranges for cables covered by this
\nStandard are given in Table 1.1 <\/p>\n
For the purposes of this standard, very-low temperature
\napplications are defined as -50 \u00b0C (-58 \u00b0F) per 1.4.1.6 and are
\naddressed in Annex C (Normative), which contains requirements for
\nlower operating and storage temperatures than listed in Table
\n1.1. <\/p>\n
Tensile Rating <\/p>\n
The standard installation tensile rating for cables covered by
\nthis Standard is 2670 N (600 lbf). Higher tensile ratings are also
\nacceptable. For applications where a lower tensile rating is
\nappropriate the standard lower tensile rating is 1330 N (300 lbf).
\nIn all cases, the residual load is defined as a load equal to 30
\npercent of the installation tensile rating. <\/p>\n
For self-supporting aerial applications there are additional
\nconsiderations that need to be addressed to ensure that the cable
\ndesign is appropriate for the selfsupporting distance and
\nenvironmental loading conditions. See 7.30 and Annex D for
\ninformation on figure-8 self-supporting aerial cable requirements
\nand considerations. <\/p>\n
For aerial applications in which the optical cable is lashed to
\na separate messenger wire, the use of a cable designed for a
\nstandard tensile rating for installation by direct burial,
\ntrenching, or pulling into duct may be adequate. <\/p>\n
For very small cables, such as those installed in miniature
\nducts, manufacturers may specify a fixed cable minimum bend
\ndiameter (e.g., 300 mm) that is independent of the cable outer
\ndiameter (OD). <\/p>\n
For cables not having a circular cross-section, bend diameter
\nrequirements are to be determined using the thickness (minor axis)
\nas the cable diameter and bending in the direction of the
\npreferential bend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
