Lichtwellenleiterkabel - Teil 5-10: Familienspezifikation für Mikrorohr-Lichtwellenleiterkabel, Mikrorohre und geschützte Mikrorohre zur Installation durch Einblasen für die Anwendung im Freien (IEC 60794-5-10:2014); Deutsche Fassung EN 60794-5-10:2014
Overview
This part of IEC 60794 is a family specification applying to outdoor microduct optical fibre cables for installation by blowing and the associated microducts, which together make up a microduct optical fibre cable system. Although primarily designed for use with outdoor microduct applications, the cable products specified herein may be used individually for short lengths in other applications as agreed upon between supplier and customer. These may include short runs inside a building or in other outdoor applications, such as a transition between separate (unconnected) microduct systems, or from a microduct system to some other protective structure such as a cable conduit or tray. The standard contains the minimum requirements, the details as well the test severities for general tests to be applied, microducts and protected microducts. Thus, the standard provides manufacturers and users with investment security and test laboratories and manufacturers with detailed information on testing. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 412.6 "Lichtwellenleiter und Lichtwellenleiterkabel" ("Fibres and cables") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
