Telecommunications Cables FAQs Text (see below)
What is
the temperature range that outside plant cable can withstand?|
For storage and operation: -45 degrees to 80 degrees
Celsius
-49 degrees to 176 degrees Fahrenheit
For installation:
-30 degrees to 60 degrees Celsius
-22 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit
What is the bend radius of outside plant cable?
The
bend radius for all Outside PIC cable is not less than 10
times the diameter (O.D.) of the cable. For example, if the
cable O.D. is .52 inches, then the bend radius for that cable
is not less than 5.2 inches.
What is the maximum pulling tension or tensile strength
that can be placed on outside plant cable?
It
is calculated based on the pair count and gauge of the conductors.
19 AWG = the maximum force is 22.1 lbs. per pair
22 AWG = the maximum force is 11.0 lbs. per pair
24 AWG = the maximum force is 6.6 lbs. per pair
26 AWG = the maximum force is 4.4 lbs. per pair
Are outside plant products Category 3 compatible?
In
sample testing it was determined that our filled and air core
cable meet or exceed Category 3 transmission requirements.
Please note that RUS(REA) specification does not require testing
to category 3 parameters.
Can outside plant cable be submersed in water?
We
do not recommend submersing outside plant products in water.
If a customer requires that a particular product be installed
in water, please contact our Engineering department for suggestions.
