Description

Products

Indoor-outdoor cables covered by this Standard are generally
derived from outdoor cable designs having the thermal and
mechanical robustness that makes them suitable for use in the
Outside Plant. Material changes are made, as required, to allow the
designs to meet their intended fire rating. These cables can be
expected to comply with all specification requirements stipulated
in this Standard.

In cases where outside exposure is limited (less than 10
meters), a weatherized cable may be derived from an indoor cable
design (backbone or interconnect). As required in Annex B, the
indoor cable weatherized for outdoor use uses the basic
requirements found in ICEA S-83- 596. The requirements specified in
Part 1 through 8 do not apply, except as invoked by Annex B.

Cable that is compliant with S-104-696 is considered compliant
to S-83-596.

Application Space

All designs covered by this Standard are intended for operation
under normal conditions found in the outside plant environment and
in the communications user's premises. These products normally
convey communications signals (voice, video, and data) from point
to point or point to multi-point, within and outside buildings.
Products covered by this Standard may be factory terminated with
connectors or splicing modules.

Indoor-outdoor cables are generally used to make
interconnections within and between adjacent buildings or to the
first outdoor splice point. These cables are fully resistant to the
typical outside plant environment, but their attenuation
characteristics are not necessarily the same as Outside Plant
Communications cables addressed in S-87-640. See part 8 of this
specification.

When a hybrid cable (a cable with both optical fibers and
metallic conductors) is required, the applicable metallic conductor
requirements shall be as established 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.

For very-low temperature applications and 1625 nm fiber
performance see S-87-640.

Use S-87-640 for general guidance in other special cases.
