This standard covers an all-dielectric fiber optic (wrap) cable designed to be helically wrapped around a conductor or other messenger on overhead power facilities. This covers the mechanical, electrical, and optical performance, installation guidelines, acceptance criteria, test requirements, environmental considerations, packaging and shipping guidelines, and accessories. Other existing standards do not cover all-dielectric fiber optic (wrap) cable designed to be helically wrapped around a conductor or other messenger on overhead power facilities. This standard simplifies procurement, standardizes testing, assures product quality, and assists usage. New IEEE Standard - Superseded.
