Optical fibre cables - Part 1-2: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures

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 is to define test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for the geometrical, transmission, material, mechanical, ageing (environmental exposure) and climatic properties of optical fibre cables, and electrical requirements where appropriate.

Lichtwellenleiterkabel - Teil 1-2: Fachgrundspezifikation - Grundlegende Prüfverfahren für Lichtwellenleiterkabel

Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 1-2: Spécification générique - Procédures de base applicables aux essais des câbles optiques

Applicable aux câbles à fibres optiques destinés à être utilisés dans les équipements de télécommunications et les dispositifs utilisant des techniques analogues, ainsi qu'aux câbles constitués de fibres optiques d'une part et de conducteurs électriques d'autre part. L'objet de la présente norme est la définition des procédures d'essai à utiliser pour établir des prescriptions uniformes relatives aux caractéristiques géométriques, de transmission, de matériaux, mécaniques, de vieillissement (exposition à l'environnement) et climatiques des câbles à fibres optiques, ainsi que des prescriptions électriques, si applicable.
