IEC 60794-3-70:2021

IEC 60794-3-70:2021 covers outdoor optical fibre cables intended for rugged terrestrial rapid/multiple deployment. These cables, with enhanced mechanical, environmental and ingress performance can be used wherever a rapid or multiple deployment is relevant (e.g. mobile broadcast units, emergency rescue services, tactical ground-forces, outdoor motion-robotics, mining machinery, temporary repair cables for damaged links, etc.). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2016. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - incorporation of the new classification system for optical fibre categories, sub-categories in IEC 60793-2-10; - incorporation of the new classification system for optical fibre categories, sub-categories and models in IEC 60793-2-50; - updating of cabled fibre performance categories in alignment with ISO/IEC 11801-1; - updating of bibliographical references.
