Torsion to EN 187000 Method 508 IEC 754-1 E7

During feeding, the fibre optic cable must withstan torsion forces in addition to tension, transverse pressure and bending loads. Thus a cable sample is turned about its own axis and attenuation deviations documented during the test. Neither fibre nor sheath materials may be damaged during the test. |
