39、 (WITH OR WITHOUT AN OVERALL SHIELD) FOR USE IN GENERAL PURPOSE AND LAN COMMUNICATION WIRING SYSTEMS TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS SECTION 1 GENERAL 1.1 PURPOSE: This Standard establishes generic technical requirements that may be referenced by individual telecommunications cable specifications covering pr

40、oducts intended for normal indoor premises use in the wiring systems of communications users. The parameters covered provide material, construction, and performance requirements. Because this Standard does not cover all details of individual cable design, it cannot be used as a single document for p

41、rocurement of product. This Standard is intended for use in conjunction with an individual product specification that provides complete design details for the specific cable type and designates the applicable performance requirements. Such individual cable specifications may be prepared either by th

42、e user or the manufacturer. The specification designated for procurement is at the option of the user. 1.2 SCOPE: This Standard covers mechanical, electrical and flammability requirements for thermoplastic insulated and jacketed, copper conductor, individually unshielded twisted pair indoor cables,

43、with or without an overall shield, intended primarily for use as horizontal cables, backbone cables, or patch cordage. Depending upon the application and system requirements, this Standard provides choices for materials, transmission characteristics and flammability ratings. This Standard covers the

44、 minimum transmission performance requirements for the following three Categories of cable based on existing system requirements and projected application needs. Multi-pair cables, conforming to the generic designation, ARxM, are not covered by this specification. See instead, ICEA S-103-701. Catego

45、ry 3: Intended for voice, text, data, video and image transmission with transmission characteristics specified for frequencies up to 16 MHz. Category 5: Intended for voice, text, data, video and image transmission: i: Category 5: transmission characteristics specified for frequencies up to 100 MHz.

46、ii: Category 5e: enhanced transmission characteristics specified for frequencies up to 100 MHz. ANSI/ICEA S-90-661-2012 21.3 DEFINITION OF CABLE TYPES: Horizontal cables are normally used in that portion of the telecommunications cabling system between the telecommunications room and the work area t

47、elecommunications outlet. Backbone cables are normally used in that portion of the telecommunications cabling system between telecommunications closets, equipment rooms, and entrance facilities within a building. Patch cordage is a length of cable used in the manufacture of patch cords where it is c

48、ombined with connectors on one or both ends to join telecommunication circuits/links at the cross-connect and to connect work stations to the wall outlet. The conductors are typically stranded. 1.4 OPTIONS AND INFORMATION: For those characteristics where no differentiation is made, the performance r

49、equirements are applicable to all cable categories. Selection of the applicable category shall be at the discretion of the user and shall be designated in the product specification. This Standard is arranged in Sections covering specific areas of cable requirements and may be referenced as complete Sections or as individual paragraphs. Paragraphs of this Standard where the user may specify a particular option are listed below: 2.1, 2.2 Conductors 3.1.1, 3.1.2 Insulation Material 3.4.3 Color Code for Patc
