    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 10.02, 2017 Defines procedures for physical testing of thermoplastic jackets and insulations on telecommunications wire and cable and testing of physical characteristics and environmental performance properties of completed products.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1These test methods cover procedures for the physical testing of thermoplastic insulations and jackets used on telecommunications wire and cable and the testing of physical characteristics and environmental performance properties of completed products. To determine the procedure to be used on the particular insulation or jacket or on the completed wire or cable, make reference to the specification for that product.

    1.2The test methods appear in the following sections of this standard:
