ANSI/ICEA S-87-640-2016 1 PART 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Scope 1.1.1 ProductsThis Standard covers optical fiber communications cable intended for

42、 outdoor use and normally installed aerially, directly buried, or placed in underground ducts. Additional requirements are included in Annex D for “figure-8” aerial self-supporting cables and in Annex F for all-dielectric self-support cables, as appropriate. Materials, constructions, and performance

43、 requirements are included in the Standard, together with applicable test procedures. Refer to other published ICEA cable product standards for information on optical fiber cable requirements for other applications: S-83-596: Indoor optical fiber cable S-104-696: Indoor-outdoor optical fiber cable)

45、es intended for use in limited power circuits. S-121-744: Optical fiber outside plant microduct cables. 1.1.2 Applications SpaceProducts covered by this Standard are intended for operation only under conditions normally found in communications systems. These products normally convey communications s

46、ignals (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 hybrid cable is required, the applicable metallic conductor requirements shall be as established

47、 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. ANSI/ICEA S-87-640-2016 2 1.1.3 Temperature RangesThe normal temperature ranges for cables covered by this Standard are given in Table

48、 1.1 For the purposes of this standard, very-low temperature applications are defined as -50 C (-58 F) per 1.4.1.6 and are addressed in Annex C), which contains requirements for lower operating and storage temperatures than listed in Table 1.1. Table 1.1 - Cable normal temperature ranges C (F) Opera

49、tion -40 to +70 (-40 to +158) Storage and Shipping -40 to +70 (-40 to +158) Installation -30 to +60 (-22 to +140) 1.1.4 Tensile Rating The standard installation tensile rating for cables covered by this Standard is 2670 N (600 lbf). Higher tensile ratings are also acceptable. For applications where a lower tensile rating is appropriate, the standard lower tensile rating is 1330 N (300 lbf). In all cases, the residual load is defined as a load equal to 30 % of the installation tensile rating. For
