BS EN 60794-2 is the second part of the BS EN 60794 multi-series that discusses optical fibre cables.
BS EN 60794-2 is a sectional specification. It gives the requirements that apply to optical fibre cables for indoor use in communications networks. Other types of applications requiring similar types of cables can be considered.
BS EN 60794-2 on sectional specifications of indoor cables is useful for:
Optical cables comprise several elements or individual constituents, depending on the cable design which takes into account the cable application, operating environment and manufacturing processes, as well as the need to protect the fibre during handling and cabling.
BS EN 60794-2 provides you with the specification for indoor cables that they need to meet for installation and service conditions. BS EN 60794-2 also provides you with the environmental, mechanical, dimensional and electrical characteristics and gives reference to the document that will help you verify them.
Overall, BS EN 60794-2 guidelines help you in the production and quality control phases of indoor cables.
