  2. Direct-buried cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-buried_cable

    Cross-section of direct buried cable. Direct-buried cable (DBC) is a kind of communications or transmissions electrical cable which is especially designed to be buried under the ground without any other cover, sheath, or duct to protect it. [1] Most direct-buried cable is built to specific tolerances to heat, moisture, conductivity, and soil ...

    The NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) is a standard published by the National Fire Protection Association every 3 years for installation of fire alarm systems and emergency communication systems in the United States.

  4. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

    Some types of conduit are approved for direct encasement in concrete. This is commonly used in commercial buildings to allow electrical and communication outlets to be installed in the middle of large open areas. For example, retail display cases and open-office areas use floor-mounted conduit boxes to connect power and communications cables.

    With some cables the individual conductors are wrapped in paper before the plastic jacket is applied. Special versions of non-metallic sheathed cables, such as US Type UF, are designed for direct underground burial (often with separate mechanical protection) or exterior use where exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a possibility. These ...

    TS 54 -14 is a technical specification (CEN/TS) for fire detection and fire alarm systems (Part 14: Guidelines for planning, design, installation, commissioning, use, and maintenance). Technical Committee CEN/TC72 has prepared this document as part of the EN 54 series of standards.

  7. Outside plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outside_plant

    Outside plant cabling, whether copper or fiber, is generally installed as aerial cable between poles, in an underground conduit system, or by direct burial. [2] Hardware associated with the outside plant must be either protected from the elements (for example, distribution frames are generally protected by a street side cabinet) or constructed ...

  8. RG-6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RG-6

    The number was assigned sequentially. The RG unit indicator is no longer part of the JETDS system (MIL-STD-196E) and cable sold today under the RG-6 label is unlikely to meet military specifications. In practice, the term RG-6 is generally used to refer to coaxial cables with an 18 AWG (1.024 mm) center conductor and 75 ohm characteristic ...

  9. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

    Not all US jurisdictions permit use of non-metallic sheathed cable. The NEC does not permit use of NM cable in large, fire-resistant, or high-rise structures. [10] In type NM cable, conductor insulation is color-coded for identification, typically one black, one white, and a bare grounding conductor.
