Description

This Standard covers optical fiber communications cable intended for
outdoor use and normally
installed aerially, directly buried, or placed in underground ducts.
Materials, constructions, and
performance requirements are included in the Standard, together with
applicable test procedures.
Refer to ANSI/ICEA S-83-596 for optical fiber communications cables
intended for indoor use, and to
ICEA S-101-696 for optical fiber communication cables intended for
combined indoor/outdoor use.

Products covered by this Standard are intended only for operation
under conditions normally found
in communications systems. These products normally convey
communications signals (voice, video, and
data) from point-to-point or point-to-multi-point, external to
buildings. Products covered by this
Standard may be factory terminated with connectors or splicing
modules.

When a composite cable is required, the applicable metallic conductor
requirements shall be as
established by agreement between the end user and the cable
manufacturer. The requirements of
ANSI/ICEA S-84-608 should be considered when determining appropriate
requirements.

The normal temperature ranges for cables covered by this Standard are:

Operating temperature: -40 °C to 70 °C (-40 °F
to 158 °F)

Installation temperature: -30 °C to 60 °C (-22
°F to 140 °F)

Storage temperature: -40 °C to 70 °C (-40 °F
to 167 °F)

The standard installation tensile rating for cables covered by this
Standard is 2670 N (600 lbf).
The residual load is defined as any load less than or equal to 30
percent of the installation
tensile rating.

The standard minimum bend diameters for cables covered by this
Standard are:

Residual (Installed): 20 × Cable O.D.

Loaded Condition (During Installation): 40 × Cable O.D.
