Description / Abstract:
This guide is intended for cables designed for use in power
generating stations and industrial facilities, in both the outside
plant environment and indoor applications-the latter with adequate
consideration for requirements of the National Electrical
Code® (NEC®) (NFPA 701).
It is not the intention of this guide to establish requirements
for cables designed for installation in a highvoltage environment,
such as optical ground wire and all-dielectric, self supporting.
These applications are covered by other IEEE documents (IEEE Std
1138TM and IEEE Std 12229TM).
Purpose
This document is intended to provide guidance for the selection,
application, and installation of fiber-optic cable in power
generating plants and industrial facilities. The selection and
application of fiber-optic cable in these facilities differ in many
respects from conventional telecommunications and local area
network (LAN) installations. Those issues, which require special
consideration, are identified and discussed.
