Mechanical Properties and Environmental Behavior

Mechanical Properties and Environmental Behavior
Tests according to IEC 60794
	Parameter	Requirement	Value
Tensile Performance IEC 60794-1-21-E1A and E1B	Long term load	– No changes in attenuation before versus after load*	Load: 800 N
		– Max. fiber strain 0.2%
	Short term load	– No changes in attenuation before versus after load*	Load: 2700 N
		– Max. fiber strain 0.6%
Crush Performance IEC 60794-1-21-E3A	Long term load	– No attenuation increase*	Load (Plate / Plate): 1100 N
	Short term load	– No changes in attenuation before versus after load*	Load (Plate / Plate): 2200 N
		– No damage**
Impact Performance IEC 60794-1-21-E4	R of anvil = 300 mm	– No changes in attenuation before versus after load	Energy: 5.0 J
		– No damage**
Bending Performance IEC 60794-1-21-E11	Handling fixed installed	– No attenuation increase*	Bend radius: 10 X D
	During installation (under load)	– No changes in attenuation before versus after load*	Bend radius: 15 X D, D is the cable diameter
Temperature Performance IEC 60794-1-22-F1	Operation Installation Storage/Shipping	– No attenuation increase*	-40 to +70°C -30 to +60°C -40 to +70°C
No changes in attenuation means that any changes in measurement value, either positive or negative within the uncertainty of measurement shall be ignored. The total uncertainty of measurement shall be less than of equal to 0.05 dB for Single-mode Fibers and 0.2 dB for Multimode Fibers. * Mechanical damage – when examined visually without magnification, there shall be no evidence of damage to the sheath. The imprint of plates will not be considered as damage.
