What is BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑20 about?
BS EN IEC 60794 is a series on optical fibre cables. BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑20 is a family specification covering optical fibre outdoor cables which are flame retardant and thus also applicable to indoor environments.
These flame-retardant cables generally possess the characteristics associated with outdoor cable designs having similar thermal and mechanical robustness that makes them suitable for use in the outside plant, while simultaneously exhibiting the fire performance required in indoor premises.
Who is BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑20 for?
BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑20 on optical fibre cables is useful for:
- Telecommunication companies
- Computer networking sectors
- IT companies
- Automotive industries
- Residential sectors
Why should you use BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑20?
Optical fibres are used most often to transmit light between the two ends of the fibre and find wide usage in fibre-optic communications. BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑20 defines the cable design that is suitable for outdoor applications known as flame retardant outdoor cables. The flame retardant outdoor cables have an appropriate jacket material in combination with other materials and/or designs.
With the help of BS EN IEC 60794‑6‑20, you can provide homes and businesses with fibre-optic internet, phone and TV services as flame retardant outdoor cables are designed to survive the adverse conditions in the outdoor environment.
