Optical fibre cables - Part 1-309: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Cable element test methods - Bleeding and evaporation of filling or flooding compounds, Method G9

IEC 60794-1-309:2023 describes the test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for optical fibre cable elements, filling compounds or flooding compounds, for the environmental property-bleeding and evaporation. This document 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. NOTE Throughout the document, the wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etc. This first edition of IEC 60794-1-309 cancels and replaces method G9 of the second edition of IEC 60794-1-23 published in 2019. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) the optical cable element test methods contained in IEC 60794-1-23:2019 will now be individually numbered in the IEC 60794-1-3xx series. Each test method is now considered to be an individual document rather than part of a multi-test method compendium. Full cross-reference details are given in IEC 60794-1-2; b) the scope is broadened so that the test method is also applicable for flooding compounds; c) the cover of the test set-up is cancelled.

Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 1-309: Spécification générique - Procédures fondamentales d’essai des câbles optiques - Méthodes d’essai des éléments de câble - Exsudation et évaporation des composés de remplissage ou d’étanchéité, Méthode G9

IEC 60794-1-309:2023 décrit les procédures d’essai à utiliser afin d’établir des exigences uniformes pour les éléments de câbles à fibres optiques, les composés de remplissage ou les composés d’étanchéité pour la propriété environnementale d’exsudation et d’évaporation. Le présent document s’applique aux câbles à fibres optiques destinés à être utilisés avec des équipements de communication et des dispositifs utilisant des techniques analogues, ainsi qu’aux câbles constitués de fibres optiques d’une part et de conducteurs électriques d’autre part. NOTE Tout au long du présent document, l’expression "câble optique" peut également inclure des unités de fibres optiques, des unités de fibres pour microconduits, etc. Cette première édition de l’IEC 60794-1-309 annule et remplace la méthode G9 de la deuxième édition de l’IEC 60794-1-23 parue en 2019. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a) les méthodes d’essai des éléments de câble optiques contenues dans l’IEC 60794-1-23: 2019 sont désormais numérotées individuellement dans la série IEC 60794-1-3xx. Chaque méthode d’essai est désormais considérée comme un document distinct et non plus comme une partie d’un recueil regroupant plusieurs méthodes d’essai. Le détail de l’ensemble des références croisées est donné dans l’IEC 60794-1-2; b) le domaine d’application a été élargi de manière à ce que la méthode d’essai s’applique aussi aux composés d’étanchéité; c) le capot de l’appareillage d’essai est supprimé.

Optični kabli - 1-309. del: Splošna specifikacija - Osnovni preskusni postopki za optične kable - Preskusne metode za kabelske elemente - Iztekanje in izhlapevanje polnila ali zalivnih zmesi, metoda G9 (IEC 60794-1-309:2023)

Standard IEC 60794-1-309:2023 opisuje preskusne postopke, ki jih je treba uporabiti pri določanju enotnih zahtev glede elementov optičnih kablov, polnil ali zalivnih zmesi za okoljsko iztekanje in izhlapevanje. Ta dokument se uporablja za optične kable za uporabo s telekomunikacijsko opremo in napravami, ki uporabljajo podobne tehnike, ter kable s kombinacijo optičnih vlaken in električnih vodnikov.
OPOMBA: V tem dokumentu lahko izraz »optični kabel« vključuje tudi optične enote, mikrokanale itd. Prva izdaja standarda IEC 60794-1-309 razveljavlja in nadomešča metodo G9 iz druge izdaje standarda IEC 60794-1-23, objavljenega leta 2019. Ta izdaja v primerjavi s prejšnjo vključuje naslednje pomembne tehnične spremembe:
a) Preskusne metode za elemente optičnih kablov iz standarda IEC 60794-1-23:2019 so posamezno oštevilčene v skupini standardov IEC 60794-1-3xx. Vsaka preskusna metoda je zdaj posamezen dokument in ne del sklopa metode z več preskusi. Vse podrobnosti o navzkrižnem sklicevanju so navedene v standardu IEC 60794-1-2.
b) Področje uporabe je razširjeno tako, da se preskusna metoda uporablja tudi za zalivne zmesi.
c) Priprava preskusa ni več zajeta.
