TIA-455-41
FOTP-41 Compressive Loading Resistance of Fiber Optic Cables
| Organization: | TIA |
| Publication Date: | 1 December 1993 |
| Status: | inactive |
| Page Count: | 19 |
scope:
The intent of this test is to determine the ability of a fiber optic cable to mechanically and optically withstand, or recover from (or both), the effects of a slowly-applied compressive force. The following parameters may be measured or observed:
the number of fibers broken during the compressive loading,
the changes in optical transmittance or attenuation during or after the loading,
any change in the outer covering.
