37、EQUIREMENTS SECTION 1 GENERAL 1.1 PURPOSE: The purpose of this Standard is to establish generic technical requirements that may be referenced by individual telecommunications cable specifications covering products intended for normal outside plant use. The parameters covered provide material, constr
38、uction, and performance requirements that are applicable to filled, polyolefin insulated and jacketed cables of all pair counts, including a variety of shield and jacket combinations and optional compartmental screening. Because this Standard does not cover all details of individual cable design, it
39、 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 complete design details for the specific cable type and designates the applicable performance requirements. Such individual cable specifica
40、tions may be prepared either by the user or the manufacturer. The specification designated for procurement is at the option of the user. 1.2 SCOPE: This Standard covers mechanical and electrical requirements for filled, polyolefin insulated, copper conductor telecommunications cable. It provides alt
41、ernative choices for type of insulation, type of filling compound, core lay-ups, color code, sheath design (shielding materials, single or double jackets, and jacket thicknesses), and screened or non-screened core. 1.3 OPTIONS AND INFORMATION: These cables are traditional outside plant (OSP) cables
42、having a nominal mutual capacitance of 52 nF/km (83 nF/mile) at 1 kHz with attenuation and crosstalk characterized at discrete frequencies up to 6.3 MHz. For cables characterized above 6.3 MHz, refer to ICEA S-99-689, Broadband Twisted Pair Cable, Filled, Polyolefin Insulated, Copper Conductor. This
43、 Standard is arranged in Sections covering one specific area of cable requirement and may be referenced as complete Sections or as individual paragraphs. ANSI/ICEA S-84-608-2017 10 Sections of this Standard where the user may specify a particular option are listed below: 2.1 Conductor Size 3.2 Insul
44、ation Type 4.1 Core Layup 4.3 Spare Pairs 4.5.1 Type Filling Compound 6.1 Shielding Systems 6.2.2 One or Two Side Coated Aluminum 6.2.9 One or Two Side Coated Steel 6.3 Shield Application 7.1 Inner Jacket 7.2.1 Outer Jacket (Material Type) 8.7 Attenuation 10.1.2 Length Markings 10.4 Optional Require
45、ments To assist the user in selection of options and to avoid possible misunderstandings between the manufacturer and user, it is suggested that a check-off sheet similar to that shown in Informative Annex A be utilized. 1.4 UNITS AND TOLERANCES: SI units (see NIST-SP 811) are specified throughout t
46、his Standard except for conductor size. Approximate US equivalents and Fahrenheit temperatures are provided for information only. The rounding method of ASTM E 29 shall be used for determining conformance with requirements. 1.5 REFERENCES: All documents referenced herein shall be as listed in Table
47、1 with issues and/or dates as indicated. When a specific date or issue number is not indicated, the latest issue shall be used. 1.6 QUALITY ASSURANCE: It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to establish a quality assurance system consistent with TL-9000, or an alternate system acceptable to th
48、e user. When the user wishes to require a specific quality assurance program or special testing procedures, agreement between the user and the manufacturer should be reached before the order is placed. Requirements provided in this Standard are of two types, qualification and product performance. Qu
49、alification requirements are intended to be proof of adequate design and processing and shall be repeated as needed for verification. Product performance requirements are those which shall be met by every length of delivered cable as assured by quality control methods. The following tests shall be performed on all reels of completed cable. The term “completed cable“ refers to a continuous length of cable resulting from the last jacketing operation. ANSI/ICEA S-84-608-2017 11 Properties that shall be tested on 100 percent of the cable lengths produced are listed b
