DIN EN 60794-5:2017-06

This part of IEC 60794 is a sectional specification and specifies the requirements of microduct optical fibre cables, microduct fibre units, microducts and protected microducts for installation by blowing for outdoor and/or indoor use. The microduct optical fibre cables and microduct fibre units utilize the structure of the microduct or protected microducts to support installation and to provide protection over the design lifetime. These products may be used for applications such as communication and transmission networks, transmission, telephone and data processing equipment, control and monitoring applications. The cabling structures described in this sectional specification are uniquely designed to facilitate and take advantage of installation by blowing into microducts. The standard differs from DIN EN 60794-5 (VDE 0888-500):2008-01 as follows: a) addition of design requirements including a reference to IEC 60794-3 for microduct fiber optic cables; b) the standard has been streamlined by cross-references to IEC 60794-1-1. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 412.6 "Lichtwellenleiter und Lichtwellenkabel" ("Optical fibres and fibre cables") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
