Functional requirements, such as electrical, mechanical, optical fiber, environmental, and test requirements related to design, installation, in service, and maintenance, including routine tests, are included.
P1591.4
Standard for Testing and Performance of Hardware for Optical Fiber Composite Overhead Phase Conductor (OPPC)
This standard describes the construction, mechanical and electrical performance, test requirements, environmental considerations, and acceptance criteria for qualifying hardware for use with Optical Fiber Composite Overhead Phase Conductor (OPPC).
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
1222-2019
IEEE Standard for Testing and Performance for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) Fiber Optic Cable for Use on Electric Utility Power Lines
The construction, mechanical, electrical, and optical performance, installation guidelines, acceptance criteria, test requirements, environmental considerations, and accessories for a nonmetallic, all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cable are covered by this standard. The ADSS cable is designed to be located primarily on overhead utility facilities.
1591.2-2017
IEEE Standard for Testing and Performance of Hardware for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) Fiber Optic Cable
Hardware performance, test requirements, procedures, and acceptance criteria for an all dielectric self-supporting overhead cable with optical fibers are covered in this standard. Functional requirements, such as electrical, mechanical, optical fiber, environmental and test requirements related to design, installation, in-service, and maintenance, including routine tests, are covered.
1591.3-2020
IEEE Standard for Qualifying Hardware for Helically-Applied Fiber Optic Cable System (WRAP Cable)
Performance and testing specifications for hardware used on helically-applied cable systems (WRAP) in order to standardize testing, simplify procurement specifications, and improve product quality is established in this standard.
1594-2020
IEEE Standard for Helically-Applied Fiber Optic Cable Systems (WRAP) for Use on Overhead Utility Lines
An all-dielectric fiber optic cable (WRAP) designed to be helically wrapped around a conductor or other messenger on overhead power facilities is covered by this standard.
1595-2022
IEEE Standard for Testing and Performance for Optical Phase Conductor (OPPC) for Use on Electrical Utility Power Lines
The performance, test requirements, procedures, and acceptance criteria for an OPPC are covered in this standard. Optical phase conductor (OPPC) is a phase conductor with optical fibers for telecommunication purposes. Functional requirements, such as electrical, mechanical, optical fiber, environmental, and packaging, and test requirements related to design, installation, in-service, and maintenance, including routine tests, are also covered.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
1222-2003
IEEE Standard for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Fiber Optic Cable
SUMMARY: This standard covers construction, mechanical, electrical, and optical performance, installation guidelines, acceptance criteria, test requirements, environmental considerations, and accessories for an all-dielectric, non-metallic, self-supporting fiber optic (ADSS) cable. The ADSS cable is designed to be located primarily on overhead utility facilities. This standard provides both construction and performance requirements that insure within the guidelines of the standard that the dielectric capabilities of the cable components and maintenance of optical fiber integrity and optical transmissions are proper.
1222-2011
IEEE Standard for Testing and Performance for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) Fiber Optic Cable for Use on Electric Utility Power Lines
This standard covers the construction, mechanical, electrical and optical performance, installation guidelines, acceptance criteria, test requirements, and environmental considerations for an all-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cable designed to be located on overhead electric power utility and telecommunications facilities. This does not include cables used for underground installations.
1591.3-2011
IEEE Standard for Qualifying Hardware for Helically-Applied Fiber Optic Cable Systems (WRAP Cable)
The purpose of this standard is to establish performance and testing specifications for hardware used on WRAP CABLE systems in order to standardize testing, simplify procurement specifications, and assure product quality.
1594-2008
IEEE Standard for Helically Applied Fiber Optic Cable Systems (Wrap Cable) for Use on Overhead Utility Lines
This standard covers an all-dielectric fiber optic (wrap) cable designed to be helically wrapped around a conductor or other messenger on overhead power facilities. This covers the mechanical, electrical, and optical performance, installation guidelines, acceptance criteria, test requirements, environmental considerations, packaging and shipping guidelines, and accessories.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
1138-2009
IEEE Standard for Testing and Performance for Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) for Use on Electric Utility Power Lines
This standard covers the performance, test requirements, procedures, and acceptance criteria for a transmission line overhead ground wire (a.k.a. shield wire, static wire, earth wire, skywire) with optical fibers commonly known as optical ground wire (OPGW). An OPGW cable has the dual performance functions of a ground wire with telecommunications capabilities. This standard includes functional requirements such as electrical, mechanical, optical fiber, environmental and packaging, and test requirements related to design, installation, in-service, maintenance, including routine tests. This standard is not intended to supersede any established safety rules, codes, regulations, or practices associated with the use of OPGW cables. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
