Description

This standard provides recommended practices for specifying
metric copper wire sizes for outside plant communications cables in
exchange areas and for toll circuits. It covers the nominal metric
sizes to replace the AWG sizes that have traditionally been
included in North American cable specifications as well as 28 AWG,
which has had limited use. This standard also includes "desired
average" resistance values that are intended for use in cable plant
design. In addition to "maximum individual" resistance values, this
standard also recornmends "maximum cable average" resistance values
that have been set at a level expected to control the overall
average values close to the "desired average" values.

The purpose of this standard is to recommend practices that can
be followed by all specification writing organizations in the
United States and Canada, when a decision is made to standardize
metric wire sizes.

The existence of this standard does not imply that any decision
has been made by any organization to introduce metric wire sizes:
It is recommended that no such decision should be made
unilaterally, but only when there is a good consensus among cable
users and cable manufacturers.

This standard is not intended to be applied to metric wire sizes
in products other than those indicated in the scope.
