This Recommendation describes the characteristics, construction and test methods of small count optical fibre cables for indoor applications. Indoor optical fibre cables that contain three or more fibres have been described in ITU-T Recommendation L.59. This Recommendation deals with small count optical fibre cable that contains one or two optical fibre(s). First, we describe the cable characteristics that are required if an optical fibre is to demonstrate sufficient levels of performance. Then, a method is described for examining whether a cable has the required characteristics. The required conditions may differ according to the installation environment. Therefore, detailed test conditions of experiments must be agreed between a user and a supplier on the basis of the environment in which a cable is to be used.
