Optical fibre cables - Part 1-111: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Mechanical tests methods - Bend, method E11
This part of IEC 60794 defines the test procedure to determine the ability of an optical fibre
cable to withstand bending around a test mandrel. The primary purpose of this procedure is to
measure the change in attenuation when the cable is bent around a test mandrel. A secondary
purpose is to assess whether the cable has been physically damaged by bending.
NOTE 1 This test can be utilized at any specified temperature, including the low or high temperature limits for the
cable.
NOTE 2 The bend test procedure for cable elements is specified in IEC 60794-1-301, method G1.
