Fiber Optic Cable Fixing Torsion Test

IEC 61300-2-5:2009 Establishes a test to determine the ability of the cable attachment element of the device under test to withstand torsional loads, as might be experienced during installation and normal service, while under tension. The system applies controlled torsional forces to the cable while monitoring optical performance in real time. This note also provides background information on system link configurations, test equipment and system component considerations that influence. Machine specifically designed for Testing Cable flexibility and their resistance to a continuous torsion stress and repeated movements. [pdf]
