1.1 This guide is intended to provide a list of materials commonly used in components that provide insulation, jacketing and strength in fiber-optic cables. Where these materials are covered by ASTM standards, an appropriate reference is made. Due to changing technology, not all materials being used are necessarily listed here.<\/p>\n
1.2 This guide does not include materials used in components for optical purposes (optical fiber and its coating) or external metallic armoring (such as for a barrier to rodents).<\/p>\n
1.3 This guide offers two general lists of materials:<\/p>\n
1.3.1 A subdivision of fiber-optic cable construction into components that are used for insulation, jacketing, or strength, with a generic material classification for specific applications in each component (see Section 5); and<\/p>\n
1.3.2 An alphabetical list of the generic material classifications, showing ASTM standards where they exist (see Table 1).<\/p>\n
