Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 2-44: Tests - Flexing of the strain relief of fibre optic devices

IEC 61300-2-44:2008(E) specifies a test to determine the influence of a flexing under tensile load of the strain relief of fibre optic devices. The intension is to simulate the number of flexing which would typically be experienced during service. This test is applied to both single fibre cable and multiple fibre cable. The specific changes from the previous edition include the diversification of the severity according to environmental categories and component types.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate i
