44、ENERAL 1.1 PURPOSE: The purpose of this Standard is to establish generic technical requirements that may be referenced by individual telecommunications wire specifications covering products intended to connect the broadband outside plant to the individual customer premises. The parameters covered pr
45、ovide material, construction, and performance requirements. Because this Standard does not cover all details of individual wire design, it cannot be used as a single document for procurement of product. It is intended to be used in conjunction with an individual product specification that provides c
46、omplete design details for the specific wire type and designates the applicable performance requirements. Such individual wire specifications may be prepared either by the user or the manufacturer. The specification designated for procurement is at the option of the user. The manufacturer and user o
47、f these wires should consider the selection and availability of appropriate hardware in the installation of these products. 1.2 SCOPE: This Standard covers material, mechanical and electrical requirements for Broadband Aerial Service Wire (BB-ASW) of 12 pair, intended for use principally in extendin
48、g a circuit from a broadband distribution cable terminal to a subscribers network interface device (NID). 1.3 OPTIONS AND INFORMATION: This Standard provides alternative choices for type of insulation, type of sheath design (shielding materials, single or double jackets, and jacket type and thicknes
49、s) and armoring. The objective of this Standard is to also ensure compatibility with the Category 5e system requirements as specified in the TIA/EIA Standard 568-C.2 for commercial building telecommunications cabling, so that the standardized service wires can be used in a “Customer Owned Outside Plant” or as “Campus Cables”, provided they have an appropriate pair count. However, due to specific requirements of service wires, not all requirements outlined in TIA/EIA Standard 568-C.2 can be met. It will be indicated in this standard, where s
