ICEA S-110-717:2013

General

This Standard covers optical fiber communications cables
intended for use in outdoor and/or indoor/outdoor optical fiber
drop applications. Materials, construction, and performance
requirements are included in this Standard, together with
applicable test procedures.

Optical fiber communications cables within the scope of Multiple
Dwelling Unit (MDU) applications, as defined by ICEA S-115-730, may
include specific types of drop cables. For these MDU drop cables,
the requirements of S-730 supersede the requirements of this
Standard, except by agreement between manufacturer and user.

Refer to other published ICEA cable product Standards for
information for optical fiber cable requirements for other
applications:

• S-104-696 (ANSI/TIA-472C000-B) for optical fiber
communications cables intended for use in other combined
indoor/outdoor applications,

• S-87-640 (to be TIA-472D000-C) for optical fiber communication
cables intended for use in other outdoor applications,

• S-83-596 (TIA-472C000-C) for optical fiber communications
cables intended only for indoor use, and

• S-112-718 for optical fiber cable for placement in sewers

• S-115-730 for optical fiber cable for multiple-dwelling
units.
