Due to the special environment of indoor applications, indoor optical cables must meet the requirements of toxicity, corrosion and low smoke in international standards while maintaining very good flame retardancy, mechanical properties and light transmission properties. 104 describes the characteristics, construction and test methods of small count optical fibre cables for indoor applications. Thus the cables are generally designed to provide high tensile strength, crush resistance and to withstand temperature changes between -40°C and +70°C with attenuation changes as low as possible. Over time, these conditions influence signal loss, stability, and service life. Heat accumulates in racks and. Breakout cable, Distribution Cable, Ribbon Broadband optical access services are now commercially available. The number of fiber to the home (FTTH) service users is increasing rapidly.
