This Standard covers mechanical, electrical and flammability
requirements for thermoplastic insulated and jacketed, copper
conductor, inside wiring cables intended primarily for general
purpose communication applications in telephone company central
offices or on consumer premises in non-LAN (Local Area Network)
applications.
Material, construction, performance and flammability
requirements are included in the Standard, together with applicable
test procedures.
All designs covered by this Standard are for indoor use only.
Products covered by this Standard are intended only for operation
with voltages and currents normally found in communication systems.
Typically, these cables are installed in exposed areas, e.g.,
surface mounted on cable racks and in concealed areas, e.g., within
raceways.
The inside wiring cables covered by this Standard are intended
for voice, text, data, video, and image transmission with
transmission characteristics specified for frequencies up to 16
MHz. These cables have a minimum transmission performance of
Category 3 except for those parameters that are gauge dependent
(attenuation, dc resistance).
This Standard is arranged in Sections covering specific areas of
cable requirements and may be referenced as complete Sections or
individual paragraphs
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Standard is to establish generic
technical requirements that may be referenced by individual
telecommunications cable specifications covering thermoplastic
insulated and jacketed inside wiring products intended for normal
indoor premises use in the wiring systems of communication users.
The parameters covered provide material, construction, performance
requirements, and test procedures.
Because this Standard does not cover all details of individual
cable designs, it cannot be,used as a single document for
procurement of product. This Standard is intended to be used in
conjunction with an individual product specification that provides
complete design details for the specific cable types and designates
the applicable performance requirements. Such individual product
specifications may be prepared either by the user or the
manufacturer. The procurement specification is left to the
discretion of the user of this Standard.
