IEEE Standard for Qualifying Hardware for Helically-Applied Fiber Optic Cable System (WRAP Cable)
Abstract
Performance and testing specifications for hardware used on helically-applied cable systems (WRAP) in order to standardize testing, simplify procurement specifications, and improve product quality is established in this standard.Scope
This standard covers hardware for use with all-dielectric fiber optic (WRAP) cable designed to be helically wrapped around a conductor or other messenger on overhead power facilities. This covers mechanical, and electrical performance, test requirements, environmental considerations, and acceptance criteria for qualification of the hardware.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to establish performance and testing specifications for hardware used on WRAP cable systems in order to standardize testing, simplify procurement specifications, and improve product quality.
