This Sectional Specification applies to drop cables for outdoor applications in netwo
21、rks (e.g. SMATV) whose frequency of operation is within the range5MHz 2150MHz. The purpose of the standard is to specify values and preferential characteristics of the cables, and to identify the applicable tests from the Generic Specification. Reference is made to suitable schemes for Quality Asses
22、sment. The numbering of the clauses is the same as in the Generic Specification. ALL THE CLAUSES FROM THE GENERIC APPLICABLE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THIS SECTIONAL SPECIFICATION. Any variations from the generic specification are also detailed in this specification. 2 Reference standards EN50117,
23、Generic Specification for Coaxial Cables used in Cabled Distribution Networks. 3 Definitions Terminology, units of measure and symbols are the same as in the Generic Specification. 4 Materials and cable construction 4.3 Dielectric Unless otherwise specified nominal cable diameter over the dielectric
24、 should preferably be selected from the following table; 4.4 Outer conductor or screen When braiding is used, the braid angle according to3.2.2.1 shall be between15 and45 . The coverage factor according to3.2.2.4 shall be greater than or equal to65%, or, when the cable is provided with a metal foil,
25、 greater than or equal to25%. These values are also valid for cables with two bidirectional layers of helically wound wires. 4.5 Sheath The sheaths of cables covered by this Sectional Specification shall be in Polyethylene (PE). Sheaths shall be in black PE for aerial applications. For aerial figure
