ANSI/TIA-472E000 ICEA S-104-696-2001 1PART 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Scope This Standard covers
39、 optical fiber communications cables intended for use in Indoor-Outdoor optical fiber applications. Materials, constructions and performance requirements are included in the Standard, together with applicable test procedures. Refer to ICEA S-83-596 for optical fiber communications cables intended fo
40、r indoor use, and to ICEA S-87-640 for optical fiber communication cables intended for outdoor use. When a composite cable (a cable with both optical fibers and metallic conductors) is required, the applicable metallic conductor requirements shall be as established by agreement between the end user
41、and the cable manufacturer. The requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-84-608 should be considered when determining appropriate requirements. All designs covered by the Standard are intended for operation under normal conditions found in the outside plant environment and in the communications users premises. T
42、hese products normally convey communications signals (voice, video, and data) from point to point or point to multi point, within and outside buildings. Products covered by this Standard may be factory terminated with connectors or splicing modules. Indoor-Outdoor cables are generally used in short
43、lengths, to make interconnections within and between adjacent buildings. These cables are fully resistant to the typical outside plant environment, but their attenuation characteristics are not necessarily the same as long-length Outside Plant Communications cables. See part 8 of this specification.
44、 The normal temperature ranges for cables covered by this Standard are listed in Table 1-1: Table 1-1 Temperature Ranges Plenum Riser and General Purpose C C (F)Operation -40 to +70 (-40 to 158) -40 to +70 (-40 to +158) Storage and Shipping -40 to +70 (-40 to 158) -40 to +70 (-40 to +158) Installati
45、on 0 to +60 (32 to +140) -10 to +60 (+14 to +140) The standard installation tensile rating for cables covered by this Standard is 2670 N (600 lb.) for cables with more than 12 fibers and 1335 N (300 lb.) for cables with less than or equal to 12 fibers. The residual load is defined as a load equivale
46、nt to 30 percent of the rated installation load. ANSI/TIA-472E000 ICEA S-104-696-2001 2The standard minimum bend diameter for cables covered by this Standard are: Unloaded Condition (Installed): 20 x Cable OD Loaded Condition (During Installation): 40 x Cable OD Products covered by this Standard sha
47、ll comply with the pertinent Fire Resistance Code(s) described in Section 1.9. 1.2 General This publication is arranged so that cables may be selected from numerous constructions covering a broad range of installation and service conditions. Parts 2 and 3 designate the materials, material characteri
48、stics, dimensions and tests applicable to the particular component. Part 4 covers assembly, cabling, and identification of the individual optical fibers. Part 5 includes cable coverings. Part 6 provides other pertinent requirements not otherwise addressed by Parts 1 through 5 or by Parts 7 and 8 of
49、this Standard. Part 7 describes the test methods and performance requirements applicable to the component materials and completed cables manufactured under this Standard. If there is a conflict between Parts 1 through 6 and Part 7, the provisions of Part 7 apply. Part 8 contains routinely specified optical performance, test methods and requirements for finished cables. Part 9 contains cross-references to other standards and publications. Annex A contains Informative Ordering Information. Annex B contains Informative Laser Bandwidth Information. Annex C lists ICEA Telecom
