ICEA S-83-596; Indoor Optical Fiber Cables - Fourth Edition ICEA - Insulated Cable Engineers Association Inc. This Standard covers fiber optic communications cables intended for use in the buildings of communications users. Materials, constructions and performance requirements are included in the Standard, together with applicable test procedures. Refer to ICEA S-104-696 for optical fiber communications cables intended for indoor-outdoor use, and to ICEA S-87-640 for optical fiber communication cables intended for outdoor use.
Products covered by this standard are intended only for operation under conditions normally found in communication systems. Typically, these products are installed both in exposed areas (surface mounted to walls or building baseboards or in non-stationary configurations) and in concealed areas (within walls, attics, etc.), with or without external protection (such as conduit), depending upon product type and specific use. These products normally convey communications signals (voice, video, data, etc.) from place to place within a building.Products covered by this Standard may be factory terminated with connectors or splicing modules.
When a composite cable (a cable with both optical fibers and metallic conductors) is required, the applicable metallic conductor requirements shall be as established by agreement between the end user and the cable manufacturer. The requirements of ICEA S-90-661 should be considered when determining appropriate requirements.
In some cases, an indoor-outdoor weatherized cable may be derived from an indoor cable design (backbone or interconnect). These cables are covered in more detail in ICEA S-104-696, to be released in 2009.
MDU cabling is an emerging system topology for FTTX applications. Cables covered in this standard may be applicable for significant parts of the MDU topology. Please note ICEA Project 730 and any standards that emerge from that work for further information.

ICEA T-24-380; PARTIAL DISCHARGE TEST PROCEDURE ICEA - Insulated Cable Engineers Association Inc. This Factory Test Procedure applies to the detection and measurement of partial discharges occurring in the following types of solid dielectric cables:
Single Conductor Cables
Single conductor shielded cables and assemblies thereof.
Multiple Conductor Cables
Multiple conductor cables with individually shielded conductors within an outer covering.

ICEA S-70-547; Weather-Resistant Polyethylene Covered Conductors ICEA - Insulated Cable Engineers Association Inc. This standard applies to the materials, constructions, and testing of weather-resistant thermoplastic and crosslinked polyethylene covered conductors, rated for 75 °C or 90 °C normal service temperature. These conductors are intended primarily for the distribution of electrical energy under normal conditions of overhead (aerial) installations and service outdoors.
The coverings carry no voltage rating, and the conductors must be installed on insulators adequate for the service voltage. The user may want to give consideration to the dielectric compatibility of the covering, insulator, and conductor/insulator tie.
When reference is made in this publication to an industry standard, that reference is to the standard with the title and date of issue listed in Appendix A. Where a conflict exists between the requirements of this standard and those of a referenced standard, the requirements of this standard shall apply.
The recommended bending radii for conductors is given in Appendix B.
U.S. Customary units, except for temperature, are specified throughout this standard and are the controlling units. Approximate International System of Units (SI) equivalents are included for information only. The rounding-off method of ASTM E 29 shall be used for determining conformance with requirements. To convert from an English unit to the appropriate SI unit, multiply the value of the English unit by the appropriate number from Appendix C.

ICEA S-84-608; TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLE FILLED, POLYOLEFIN INSULATED, COPPER CONDUCTOR TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS - Fifth Edition ICEA - Insulated Cable Engineers Association Inc. This Standard covers mechanical and electrical requirements for filled, polyolefin insulated, copper conductor telecommunications cable. It provides alternative choices for type of insulation, type of filling compound, core lay-ups, color code, sheath design (shielding materials, single or double jackets, and jacket thicknesses), and screened or non-screened core.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Standard is to establish generic technical requirements that may be referenced by individual telecommunications cable specifications covering products intended for normal .outside plant use. The parameters covered provide material, construction, and performance requirements that are applicable to filled, polyolefin insulated and jacketed cables of all pair counts, including a variety of shield and jacket combinations and optional compartmental screening.
Because this Standard does not cover all details of individual cable design, it cannot be used as a single document for procurement of product. It is intended to be used in conjunction with an individual product specification that provides complete design details for the specific cable type and designates the applicable performance requirements. Such individual cable specifications may be prepared either by the user or the manufacturer. The specification designated for procurement is at the option of the user.
