BS EN 60794-3-10:2015

What is BS EN 60794-3-10 - Optical telecommunication cables about?  

BS EN 60794-3-10 is the third subpart of the tenth part of the multiple series that is applicable to optical fibre cables 

BS EN 60794-3-10 is a family specification, that covers optical telecommunication cables to be used in ducts or direct buried applications. The cable may also be used for lashed aerial applications. Requirements of the sectional specification IEC 60794-3 for duct, buried and aerial cables are applicable to cables covered by BS EN 60794-3-10 

Who is BS EN 60794-3-10 - Optical telecommunication cables for?  

BS EN 60794-3-10 on family specification for duct, directly buried or lashed aerial optical telecommunication cables is useful for: 

• Optical fibre technicians  
• Manufacturers and suppliers of optical fibre  
• Manufacturers of self-supporting aerial telecommunication cables 

Why should you use BS EN 60794-3-10 - Optical telecommunication cables?  

An optical fibre is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide that transmits light along its axis through the process of total internal reflection. 

BS EN 60794-3-10 exemplifies blank detail specification, minimum requirements of optical outdoor fibre cable with the family specification for duct, directly buried or lashed aerial optical telecommunication cables. 

BS EN 60794-3-10 you can use for laying outdoor fibre optical cables.  

What’s changed since the last update?
