21、tional Specification applies to drop cables for outdoor applications.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 Assessment.The
22、numbering of the clauses is the same as in the Generic Specification. All the clauses from the Generic Specification are applicable unless otherwise stated in this Sectional Specification. Any variations from the Generic Specification are also detailed in this specification.2 Normative referencesThi
