Description / Abstract:
This standard presents engineering design procedures for the
electrical protection of telecommunication facilities serving
electric supply locations through the use of metallic wire-line
components in part of the telecommunication circuit and optical
fiber systems in the remainder of the telecommunication circuit.
Other telecommunication alternatives such as radio and microwave
systems are excluded from this document.
Purpose
This standard presents workable methods that can be used with
greater reliability to improve the electrical protection of
telecommunication facilities serving electric supply locations
through the use of metallic wire-line components in part of the
telecommunication circuit and optical fiber systems in the
remainder of the telecommunication circuit. Hybrid applications
have an equipment junction between the metallic wireline and the
fiber cable, i.e., a wire-line–fiber cable junction (CFJ).
