IEEE Standard for Helically-Applied Fiber Optic Cable Systems (WRAP) for Use on Overhead Utility Lines
Abstract
An all-dielectric fiber optic cable (WRAP) designed to be helically wrapped around a conductor or other messenger on overhead power facilities is covered by this standard.Scope
This standard covers an all-dielectric fiber optic (WRAP) cable designed to be helically wrapped around a conductor or other messenger on overhead power facilities. This covers the mechanical, electrical, and optical performance; installation guidelines; acceptance criteria; test requirements; environmental considerations; packaging and shipping guidelines; and accessories.
Purpose
Other existing standards do not cover all-dielectric fiber optic (WRAP) cable designed to be helically wrapped around a conductor or other messenger on overhead power facilities. This standard simplifies procurement, standardizes testing, assures product quality, and assists usage.
