ICEA S-115-730 – STANDARD FOR FLAME-RETARDANT COMPACT OR RUGGED OPTICAL DROP CABLES

Cables covered by ICEA S-115-730-2018 include two classes of cables using singlemode fiber. The cables are for use in single or multi-dwelling units (MDU) or other FTTX applications where fiber is delivered to the end customer equipment. The first class, the rugged drop cable class, may be stapled, routed around corners under tension, and coiled in a tight diameter. Examples include the Rugged Indoor Drop or Indoor/Outdoor Rugged Drop. The second, less robust compact class of drop cable may consist of an indooronly or indoor/outdoor rated cable. These cables are routed through an aesthetic duct or a similar less rigorous routing path without staples or bends under tension. Examples include Compact Drop or Small Form Factor Compact Drop.
