DANSK DSF/PREN IEC 60794-1-305 PDF

This part of IEC 60794 describes test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements of optical fibre ribbons as optical fibre cable elements for the mechanical property118 tear (separability). 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. This test is applicable for edge-bonded ribbons and encapsulated ribbons specified in IEC 60794-1-31, and not intended to be used for partially-bonded ribbons.
