ASTM D 4967 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Selecting Materials to Be Used for Insulation, Jacketing and Strength Components in Fiber-Optic Cables
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 10, 1999
Scope:
This guide is intended to provide a list of materials commonly used in
components that provide
insulation, jacketing and strength in fiber-optic cables. Where these
materials are covered by ASTM
standards, an appropriate reference is made. Due to changing
technology, not all materials being
used are necessarily listed here.
This guide does not include materials used in components for optical
purposes (optical fiber and
its coating) or external metallic armoring (such as for a barrier to
rodents).
This guide offers two general lists of materials:
A subdivision of fiber-optic cable construction into components that
are used for insulation,
jacketing, or strength, with a generic material classification for
specific applications in each
component (see Section 5); and
An alphabetical list of the generic material classifications, showing
ASTM standards where they
exist (see Table 1).
