43、ION OF CABLE TYPES: Horizontal cables are normally used in that portion of the telecommunications cabling system between the telecommunications closet and the work area telecommunications outlet. The conductors are solid. Backbone cables are normally used in that portion of the telecommunications ca

44、bling system between telecommunications closets, equipment rooms, and entrance facilities within a building. The conductors are solid. Patch cordage is a length of cable used in the manufacture of patch cords where it is combined with connectors on one or both ends to join telecommunication circuits

45、/links at the cross-connect and to connect workstations to the wall outlet. The conductors may be solid or stranded. 1.6 OPTIONS AND INFORMATION: This standard is arranged in sections covering specific areas of cable requirements and may be referenced as complete Sections or as individual paragraphs

46、. Paragraphs of this Standard where the user may specify a particular option are listed below: 2.1 Solid Conductors for Horizontal and Backbone Cables, and Patch Cordage 2.2 Stranded Conductors for Patch Cordage 3.1.1 Heavy Metal Free Insulation 3.1.2 Low Halogen Insulation Material 3.4.3 Color Code

48、ngs between the manufacturer and user, it is suggested that a check-off sheet similar to that shown in Informative Annex A be utilized. 1.7 UNITS AND TOLERANCES: SI units (see NIST-SP 811) are specified throughout this Standard except for conductor size. Approximate US equivalents and Fahrenheit tem

49、peratures are provided for information only. The rounding-off method of ASTM E 29 shall be used for determining conformance with requirements.
