本标准制定了通用技术要求，可供通信用户布线系统中正常室内使用的产品的单个电信电缆规范参考。所涵盖的参数提供了材料、结构和性能要求。由于本标准未涵盖单个电缆设计的所有细节，因此不能作为产品采购的单一文件使用。本标准旨在与单独的产品规范结合使用，该规范提供了特定电缆类型的完整设计细节，并指定了适用的性能要求。 此类单独的电缆规范可由用户或制造商编制。指定用于采购的规范由用户选择。

This Standard establishes generic technical requirements that may be referenced by individual telecommunications cable specifications covering products intended for normal indoor premises use in the wiring systems of communications users. The parameters covered provide material, construction, and performance requirements.Because this Standard does not cover all details of individual cable design, it cannot be used as a single document for procurement of product. This Standard is intended for use in conjunction with an individual product specification that provides complete design details for the specific cable type and designates the applicable performance requirements. Such individual cable specifications may be prepared either by the user or the manufacturer. The specification designated for procurement is at the option of the user.
