scope:
The test methods described here are intended primarily for testing buffered fibres (combination of optical fibre and buffer). The standard thus provides manufacturers, suppliers and users with a basis for a better and easier understanding of the technical properties of polymer optical fibres.
As regards the testing methodology and instrumentation, the test methods are also applicable to cables. In such a case the test parameters (e.g. bend radius) only need adapting to the cable design to be tested. Relevant standards for the testing of optical fibres (such as IEC 60794-2-42) can be helpful in selecting suitable test parameters for cable testing.

Testing of connectorised and non-connectorised polymer optical fibres - Testing of mechanical and environmental parameters
Purpose
Testing the tensile strength serves to determine the attenuation behaviour under tensile stress and/or the tensile strength (breaking force) of a buffered fibre. Tensile stresses can act on...
