Podrobnosti návrhu

This part of IEC 60794-1 describes test procedures used to establish uniform requirements for mechanical properties of optical fibre cables when subjected to bending under tension. The purpose of this test is to determine the ability of an optical fibre cable to withstand bending around rollers or bows during installation, when a specified load is applied.

This document applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors.

Throughout the document, the wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etc.

See IEC 60794-1-2 for general requirements and definitions and for a complete reference guide on test methods of all types.
