Full Description

This standard provides baseline measures describing the durability (Survivability) of outside plant copper-conductor and optical fiber telecommunications distribution links to various levels of physical stress and radiation effects. The standard applies to optical fiber and metallic links for trunk feeder, and local distribution. The standard includes information for the design and installation of aerial, buried, and underground plant, and applies to all telecommunications networks including -- but not limited to -- exchange carriers and interexchange carriers. The standard is intended for new installations, and not necessarily for replacing existing systems. The standard addresses protection against threats such as wind, temperature, fire, water penetration, and the means to keep the links energized (telecommunications power).
