22、th grounding conductor(s), and one or more optical-ber members, all under an overall jacket. These electrical and composite electrical/optical-ber cables are intended for use (optical and electrical functions associated in the case of a hybrid cable) in accordance with Article 645 and other applicab

23、le parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC) under the raised oor of a computer room. Cables complying with these requirements are: Type DP-1 Voltage Rating 600 volts, Flame Test: 1.2 (b) Type DP-1P Same as Type DP-1 except Flame Test: 1.2 (a) Type DP-2 Voltage Rating: 300 volts, Flame Test: 1.2 (

24、b) Type DP-2P Same as Type DP-2 except Flame Test: 1.2 (a) Type DP-3 Voltage Rating none for use in signaling circuits meeting the following requirements for maximum available voltage, current and power. 30 volts ac max. other circuits for use in 60 volts dc max. inherently limited power 42.4 volts

25、peak max. and/or sources in accordance with 100 VA max. the requirements in the Standard 8 amps max. for Safety of Information Technology Equipment UL 60950 Flame Test: 1.2 (b) Type DP-3P Same as Type DP-3 except Flame Test: 1.2 (a) 1.2 Smoke and re considerations are as follows for the cables cover

26、ed in the requirements: a) TYPE DP-1P, DP-2P and DP-3P CABLES These cables are to be tested for smoke and ame characteristics in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Standard Method of Test for Flame Travel and Smoke of Wires and Cables for Use in Air-Handling Spaces, ANSI/NFPA 2

27、62. A cable that complies exhibits a maximum ame-propagation distance that is not greater than 5 ft, 0 in, or 1.52 m, a peak optical density of smoke produced of 0.5 or less (32 percent light transmission), and an average optical density of smoke produced of 0.15 or less. b) TYPE DP-1, DP-2, and DP-

28、3 CABLES Cables comply with a 70,000 Btu/h (20.5 kW) vertical-tray ame test. The cable manufacturer chooses one of the following tests: 1) THE UL TEST REFERENCED IN 30.2.1 This paragraph applies the test method described as the UL Flame Exposure (smoke measurements are not applicable) in the Standar

29、d for Vertical-Tray Fire-Propagation and Smoke-Release Test for Electrical and Optical-Fiber Cables, UL 1685. For compliance, this test damages less than 8 feet (244 cm) of cable.

30、UTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2) THE FT4/IEEE 1202 TEST REFERENCED IN 30.3.1 This paragraph applies the test method described as the FT4/IEEE 1202 Type of Flame Exposure (smoke measurements are not applicable) in the Standard for Vertical-Tray Fire-Propagation and Smoke-Release Test for Electrica

31、l and Optical-Fiber Cables, UL 1685. For compliance, this test damages less than 150 cm (59 inches) of cable. 1.3 A cable that contains one or more electromagnetic shields may be surface marked or have a marker tape to indicate that it is shielded . A cable that contains one or more optical-ber memb

32、ers has -OF supplementing the type letters and is limited (see 14.2) to carrying optical energy that has been ruled not hazardous to the human body. A cable may consist of or contain one or more coaxial members. 1.4 These cables may contain one or more metal shields but do not have a metal sheath or

33、 armor. Electrical cables with a metal sheath or armor are covered as Type MC in the Standard for Metal-Clad Cables, UL 1569, or Type AC in the Standard for Armored Cable, UL 4. 1.5 These requirements do not cover the optical or other performance of any optical-ber member or group of such members. 2

34、 Units of Measurement 2.1 In addition to being stated in the inch/pound units that are customary in the USA, each of the requirements in this Standard is also stated in units that make the requirement conveniently usable in countries employing the various metric systems (practical SI and customary).

35、 Equivalent although not necessarily exactly identical results are to be expected from applying a requirement in USA or metric terms. Equipment calibrated in metric units is to be used when a requirement is applied in metric terms. 3 References 3.1 Wherever the designation UL 1581 is used in this st

36、andard, reference is to be made to the designated part(s) of the Reference Standard for Electrical Wires, Cables, and Flexible Cords, UL 1581. 3.2 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of tha

37、t code or standard. CONSTRUCTION 4 Materials 4.1 Each material used in a cable shall be compatible with all of the other materials used in the cable. 4.2 Data Processing cable shall be designated as Type DP and shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements for construction details, t

38、est performance, and markings.

45、0.4, and 20.6 of UL 1581. Conductor diameter is to be measured using the method shown in Section 200 of UL 1581. The sizes of the various types of wire are indicated in Table 6.1. 7.2 Compressed unilay copper conductors that are smaller in diameter than the requirement (0.98 nominal in Table 20.1 of

46、 UL 1581) for compressed concentric lay conductors shall be marked the same as compact conductors in accordance with 38.1. 7.3 The nominal cross-sectional area of a conductor is indicated in Table 20.1 of UL 1581 (not a requirement).

48、 if a protective separator is not provided, the solid conductor and each of the individual strands of a stranded conductor shall be separately covered with a metal or alloy coating complying with 5.1 as applicable to the nished wire type. 8.2 In the case of a stranded conductor on which a coating is

49、 not needed for corrosion protection but is solely to keep the insulation from adhering to copper, it is acceptable to coat only the wires of the outer layer. 8.3 The maximum temperature rating of the cable is not specied relative to the diameter of copper wires used in the serving, wrap, or braid shielding described in item (b) of 15.5.2. Otherwise, copper strands and solid copper conductors shall not be used in a cable with a temperature rating higher
