Insulated Cable Engineers Association Inc.
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2002
Scope:
This Standard covers mechanical, electrical and flammability
requirements for indoor wire and cable
intended primarily for use in telecommunication networks or as patch
cordage. Depending upon the
application and system requirements, this Standard provides choices
for materials, transmission
characteristics and flammability ratings.
The typical cable construction may be unshielded twisted pair, quad,
or unpaired thermoplastic
insulated copper conductors (with or without an overall shield)
covered by a thermoplastic jacket.
Patch cordage is a length of cable intended to be combined with
connectors on one or both ends to
join telecommunication circuit/links at the cross-connect.
This Standard covers the minimum performance requirements for the
following Categories of cable:
Category 1: Intended for basic voice communications.
Category 2: Intended for basic voice, text and low speed data
transmission with transmission
characteristics specified for frequencies up to 1 MHz.
For those characteristics where no differentiation is made, the
performance requirements are
applicable to all cables. Selection of the applicable category shall
be at the discretion of the
user and shall be designated in the product specification.
This Standard is arranged in Sections covering specific areas of cable
requirements and may be
referenced as complete Sections or as individual paragraphs.
Paragraphs of this Standard where the user may specify a particular
option are listed below:
To assist the user in selection of options and to avoid possible
misunderstandings between the
manufacturer and user, it is suggested that a check-off sheet similar
to that shown in Informative
Annex A be utilized.
