IEEE 532-2021

This guide covers the selection and testing of jackets for power, instrumentation, and control cables. It is written for those responsible for optimizing cable design and performance. The purpose is to present a reasonably complete picture of the role of jackets so that the subject can be approached in an orderly and organized manner. An effort has been made to avoid the highly technical language and theory commonly used by electrical engineers and chemists to discuss the more detailed application of jackets

The guide provides cable users assistance in the selection of jackets for the purpose of optimizing cable design and performance. A secondary purpose is to present a reasonably complete picture of the types and attributes of jackets so that the user can approach the subject in an orderly and logical manner.

Revision Standard - Active. Properties of commonly used jackets, as well as selection and testing of jackets, are covered in this guide. It is written for those responsible for optimizing cable designs. The purpose is to present a reasonably complete picture of the role of jackets so that the subject can be approached in an orderly and organized manner. An effort has been made to avoid the highly technical language and theory commonly used by electrical engineers and chemists to discuss the more detailed application of jackets.
