EN 60794-1-22:2012

Optical fibre cables - Part 1-22: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Environmental test methods

IEC 60794-1-22:2012(E) applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. The object of this standard is to define test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for the environmental performance. This edition of IEC 60794-1-22 cancels and replaces the environmental tests part of the second edition of IEC 60794-1-2 published in 2003. It constitutes a technical revision. It has been decided to split the second edition of IEC 60794-1-2 into six new documents. A list of all the parts in the IEC 60794 series, published under the general title optical fibre cables, can be found on the IEC website, www.iec.ch

Lichtwellenleiterkabel - Teil 1-22: Fachgrundspezifikation - Grundlegende Prüfverfahren für Lichtwellenleiterkabel - Prüfverfahren zur Umweltprüfung

Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 1-22 : Spécification générique - Procédures fondamentales d’essais des câbles optiques - Méthodes d’essai d’environnement

Optični kabli - 1-22. del: Splošne specifikacije - Osnovni preskusni postopki za optične kable - Okoljske preskusne metode (IEC 60794-1-22:2012)

Ta del standarda IEC 60794 obravnava optične kable za uporabo s telekomunikacijsko opremo in napravami, ki uporabljajo podobne tehnike, ter kable s kombinacijo optičnih vlaken in električnih vodnikov. Cilj tega standarda je opredeliti preskusne postopke, ki jih je treba uporabiti pri določanju enotnih zahtev za okoljsko uspešnost. V standardu lahko izraz „optični kabel“ vključuje tudi optične enote, mikrokanale itd. Za splošne zahteve, opredelitve in referenčna navodila za vse tipe preskusnih metod glejte standard IEC 60794-1-2.
