BS EN 60794-3-10:2009 Optical fibre cables. Outdoor cables. Family specification for duct, directly buried and lashed aerial optical telecommunication cables
BS EN 60794-3-10 covers optical telecommunication cables to be used in ducts or direct buried applications. The cable may also be used for lashed aerial applications. Requirements of the sectional specification BS IEC 60794-3 for duct, buried and aerial cables are applicable to cables covered by this standard.
BS EN 60794-3-10 contains requirements that supersede the normal requirements in case the cables are intended to be used in installation governed by the MICE table of BS ISO/IEC 24702. It also gives information on lashed aerial application.
The parameters specified in BS EN 60794-3-10 may be affected by measurement uncertainty arising either from measurement errors or calibration errors due to lack of suitable standards. Acceptance criteria should be interpreted with respect to this consideration. The number of fibres tested should be representative of the cable design and should be agreed between the customer and the supplier.
