2、icates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide is intended to provide a list

3、of materialscommonly used in components that provide insulation, jacket-ing and strength in fiber-optic cables. Where these materials arecovered by ASTM standards, an appropriate reference is made.Due to changing technology, not all materials being used arenecessarily listed here.1.2 This guide does

4、 not include materials used in compo-nents for optical purposes (optical fiber and its coating) orexternal metallic armoring (such as for a barrier to rodents).1.3 This guide offers two general lists of materials:1.3.1 A subdivision of fiber-optic cable construction intocomponents that are used for

5、insulation, jacketing, or strength,with a generic material classification for specific applicationsin each component (see Section 5); and1.3.2 An alphabetical list of the generic materialclassifications, showing ASTM standards where they exist (seeTable 1).2.
