Temperature cycling to EN 187000, Methode 601 IEC 754-1 F1
 |
This test procedure
determines the stability of cable attenuation under various
environmental temperatures.
Attenuation changes for fibre optic cables that can occur from temperature changes are normally the result of bending or tension on the cable. This is caused by the different thermal expansion coefficients of fibres, strain relief elements and sheath material of the cable. Test requirements for temperature dependent measurements must simulate the most unfavourable conditions.
