IEEE 1591.2:2018

Scope
This standard covers the construction, mechanical and electrical performance, test requirements, environmental considerations, and acceptance criteria for qualifying hardware for use with all-dielectric selfsupporting (ADSS) fiber optic cable.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to establish performance and testing specifications for hardware used on ADSS systems in order to standardize testing, simplify procurement specifications, and assure product quality.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active. Hardware performance, test requirements, procedures, and acceptance criteria for an all dielectric self-supporting overhead cable with optical fi bers are covered in this standard. Functional requirements, such as electrical, mechanical, optical fi ber, environmental and test requirements related to design, installation, in-service, and maintenance, including routine tests, are covered.
