What is BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑30 about?
BS EN IEC 60794 is a series on optical fibre cables. BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑30 is a family specification covering optical fibre indoor cables that are deployed in a short length (≤ 10 m) outdoor environment.
These cables generally possess the characteristics associated with indoor cable designs having the appropriate fire performance and flexibility, making them suitable for use on-premises.
Typical application spaces include the extension of a short length of indoor cable outside the building such as to a NAP mounted outside the building at the house wall.
Who is BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑30 for?
BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑30 on optical fibre cables is useful for:
- Optical fibre cable manufacturers
- Telecommunication companies
- IT companies
- Computer networking sectors
- Automotive industries
Why should you use BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑30?
Optical fibres are used most often to transmit light between the two ends of the fibre and find wide usage in fibre-optic communications. BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑30 provides detailed specifications on weatherised indoor cables and their deployment methods. For the specific demand related to UV resistance and resistance against humidity, the appropriate selection of the jacket material in combination with other materials and/or design is mentioned in BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑30.
Weatherised indoor cables described in BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑30 are specified for campus network cabling between buildings where interbuilding lengths are short enough that the installer can recognize savings from the lower costs of terminating tight-buffered cables.
