39、lank)ANSI/ICEA S-99-689-2012 1 ICEA STANDARD FOR BROADBAND TWISTED PAIR CABLE FILLED, POLYOLEFIN INSULATED, COPPER CONDUCTOR TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS SECTION 1 GENERAL 1.1 PURPOSE: The purpose of this Standard is to establish generic technical requirements that may be referenced by individual telecomm
40、unications cable specifications covering products intended for broadband outside plant use. The parameters covered provide material, construction, and performance requirements that are applicable to filled, polyolefin insulated and jacketed cables of limited pair counts, including a variety of shiel
41、d and jacket combinations. Because this Standard does not cover all details of individual cable 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 complete design details for the s
42、pecific cable type and designates the applicable performance requirements. Such individual cable specifications 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
43、 requirements for filled broadband twisted pair telecommunications cable with polyolefin insulated copper conductors. Broadband cables as described in this Standard are primarily intended to supply broadband services from the remote switch to the customer premises. The remote switch in turn is norma
44、lly supplied by fiber link from the central office. The reach of these systems is a function of the signal to noise ratio, deployed protocol and bit-rate, and may exceed 1000 m (3280 ft). These systems will allow the simultaneous transmission of regular telephone services, computer, fax and several
45、TV channels. The TV services may be interactive or may be High Definition TV. 1.3 OPTIONS AND INFORMATION: This Standard provides alternative choices for type of insulation, type of filling compound, core assemblies, sheath design (shielding materials, single or double jackets, and jacket materials)
46、. One objective of this Standard is to ensure compatibility with the Category 5e system requirements (except for Delay, see 8.9.1) as specified in the TIA/EIA Standard 568-C.2 for commercial building telecommunications cabling, so that the standardized cables can be used as “Customer Owned Outside P
47、lant Cables” or “Campus Cables”. These cables are intended to be installed aerially, in ducts or directly buried. ANSI/ICEA S-99-689-2012 2 This Standard is arranged in Sections covering one specific area of cable requirement and may be referenced as complete Sections or as individual paragraphs. Pa

49、 Wrap 10.5.1 Physical Reel Protection 10.5.2 Pulling Eyes 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 this Standard except for conductor size. Approximate US equivalents and Fahrenheit temperatures are provided for information only. The rounding-off method of ASTM E 29 shall be used for determining conform
