Summary: 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.103/L.59. This Recommendation deals with small count optical fibre cable that contains one or two optical fibre(s). This Recommendation describes the cable characteristics that are required if an optical fibre is to demonstrate sufficient levels of performance. A method is described for determining if the cable has the required characteristics to support the required conditions where it is installed. The required conditions may differ according to the installation environment. Therefore, detailed test conditions of experiments should be agreed between a user and a supplier on the basis of the environment in which a cable is to be used. In this revision, template of the Recommendation L.104 was updated to be consistent with the lates L-series optical fibre cable Recommendations. ITU-T G.657 fibre was added as an optical which can be used to the small count optical fibre cables for indoor applications. Existing appendixes which describe various national experiences are transferred to new Supplement for L.100-series Recommendations.
