What is BS EN IEC 60794 ‑ 4 - Optical fibre cables about?
BS EN IEC 60794 is a series on optical fibre cables. Optical fibre cables are an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibre that is used to carry light. BS EN IEC 60794 ‑ 4 covers cable construction, test methods, optical, mechanical, environmental and electrical performance requirements for aerial optical fibre cables and cable elements which are intended to be used along power lines (OCEPL) as a high bandwidth transport media for communications and control optical signals, including optical ground wires (OPGW), optical phase conductors (OPPC), metallic aerial self-supported cables (MASS), all-dielectric self-supporting cables (ADSS) and optical attached cables (OPAC).
Note: BS EN IEC 60794 ‑ 4 excludes figure-8 optical cables to be used on telephone utility poles.
