Describes simplex and duplex buffered A4a through A4g fibres for indoor use.

IEC 60794-2-41:2008 covers simplex and duplex buffered A4a through A4g fibres for indoor use. These may be cut into short lengths, which can be used in patchcord cable assemblies. The requirements of sectional specification IEC 60794-2 are applicable to cables covered by this standard. Keywords: A4a through A4g fibres, patchcord cable assemblies

This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60794-1-1:2011, IEC 60794-1-2:2013 and IEC 60794-2:2002.
