CEI EN 60793-1-52 PDF

This part of IEC 60793 provides a practical method for evaluating fibre performance in a defined environment.

The purpose of this standard is to define a test that determines the suitability of sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres and class B and C single-mode fibres to withstand the environmental condition of change in temperature which may occur in actual use, storage and/or transport. The test is primarily intended to permit the observation of effects of change of temperature over a given period. This procedure is conducted in accordance with IEC 60068-2-14, Test Nb.

NOTE The applicability of this test to other fibre categories is under study.
