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.
