This Standard specifies test methods to evaluate the properties of materials used to manufacture telecommunication cables. This Standard is intended for use by polymer manufacturers, communication cable manufacturers and end-users.

This document specifies test methods to evaluate the properties of materials used to manufacture telecommunication cables.

This document does not include the following:

(a) Cables using non-metallic semi-conductive compound.

NOTE In the context of this document, semi-conductive compound is a polymer with the addition of a conductive additive such as carbon black which increases the conductivity of the polymer.

(b) Aspects of telecommunication cables such as spacers or cores in coaxial cables.

(c) Dimensions or electrical requirements of completed cables.

(d) Cables used to conduct mains electrical power.
