Please visit standards.snopud.com for an up to date standard. 176009.1 All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Fiber Optic Cable Revision 8 Jun 30, 2015 1. Scope This specification covers the technical requirements for all -dielectric self-supporting aerial optical fiber cables. 2. Material ID Numbers This specification applies to the following District Material ID numbers: 176009 & 1002216 3. Reference Standards Unless otherwise stated in this specification,the conductors shall comply with the latest revisions of the following standards: IEEE 1222IEEE Standard for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Fiber Optic Cable ANSI/TIA/EIA-598-B-2001 Optical Fiber Cable Color Coding 4. Construction Cables shall be composed of a central dielectric support member surrounded by loose buffer tubes or filler tubes, covered with inner and outer medium density polyethylene (MDPE)jackets separated by a woven aramid yarn sheath for strength and protection. The loose buffer tube design shall isolate the optical fibers from cable tension. 4.1 Material ID No. 1002216 Material ID No. 1002216 shall contain 6 buffer tubes with 12 fibers each for a total of 72 fibers. 4.2 Material ID No. 176009 Material ID No. 176009 shall contain 6 buffer tubes with 6 fibers each for a total of 36 fibers. 5. Dielectric Support Member The dielectric support member shall be manufactured from a glass/epoxy composite. A MDPE overcoat may be applied to the support member to adjust its outer diameter in order to provide the proper spacing between buffer tubes. The dielectric support member shall not utilize adhesives or any other compounds that must be removed during splicing. https://standards.snopud.com/Content/Material/C-Conductors/176009.1.htm 1/6
