Optical fibre cables - Part 1-220: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Environmental test methods - Salt spray corrosion test, method F20

This part of IEC 60794 defines a test standard to determine the ability of an optical fibre cable to withstand the effects of a controlled salt atmosphere. This document applies to optical ground wire (OPGW) and optical phase conductor (OPPC). An optical ground wire and optical phase conductor are made of multiple metallic wires that are exposed to the environment without any insulating or protective sheath and contain optical fibres.

IEC 60794-1-220:2022 définit une norme d'essai pour déterminer l’aptitude d’un câble à fibres optiques à résister aux effets d’une atmosphère saline contrôlée. Le présent document s'applique aux câbles de garde à fibres optiques (OPGW) et aux conducteurs de phase à fibres optiques (OPPC). Un câble de garde optique et un conducteur de phase optique sont composés de plusieurs brins métalliques qui sont exposés à l’environnement sans gaine isolante ou de protection et ils contiennent des fibres optiques.
