Optical fibre cables - Part 3-70: Outdoor cables - Family specification for outdoor optical fibre cables for rapid/multiple deployment

Scope

<!-- NEW! -->IEC 60794-3-70:2021 is available as <a href="https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/68836">IEC 60794-3-70:2021 RLV</a> which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.</br></br>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.
