IEEE 1591.4-2025

This standard covers the construction, mechanical and electrical performance, test requirements, environmental considerations, and acceptance criteria for qualifying hardware for use with optical phase conductor (OPPC).



New IEEE Standard - Active. The performance, test requirements, procedures, and acceptance criteria for the hardware of a transmission line overhead conductor with optical fibers commonly known as optical phase conductor (OPPC) are covered within this standard. Functional requirements, such as electrical, mechanical, optical fiber, environmental, and test requirements related to design, installation, in service, and maintenance, including routine tests, are included.
