Optical fibre cables - Part 1-403: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Electrical test methods - Electrical continuity test of cable metallic elements, method H3 (IEC 60794-1-403:2021)

This part of IEC 60794 specifies a method of verifying that cable metallic elements are
electrically continuous throughout the cable. Electrical continuity is important for bonding and
grounding, toning for location, and other related system issues, and may represent a "goodness
of manufacture" criterion. Typically, the test is one of continuity and carries no resistance or
conductivity requirement. The metallic elements can be tested individually or can be tested as
a total group. Since this latter criterion is frequently the case, all elements are measured as a
group unless specified otherwise.
NOTE It is possible detail specifications allow such elements as strength members to be non-continuous throughout
the cable. This is a special case, and attention is directed to the detail specification.

Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 1-403: Spécification générique - Procédures fondamentales d’essais des câbles optiques - Méthodes d’essais électriques - Essai de continuité électrique des éléments métalliques des câbles, méthode H3 (IEC 60794-1-403:2021)

IEC 60794-1-403: 2021 spécifie une méthode permettant de vérifier que les éléments métalliques des câbles assurent la continuité électrique tout au long du câble. La continuité électrique est importante pour les liaisons équipotentielles et les mises à la terre, ainsi que pour la fonction de génération de tonalité permettant de localiser des câbles, et les autres problématiques associées au réseau, et elle peut représenter un critère de "bonne qualité de fabrication". Généralement, l'essai a trait à la continuité et ne comporte aucune exigence de résistance ou de conductivité. Les éléments métalliques peuvent être soumis à essai séparément, ou ils peuvent être tous regroupés pour être soumis à l'essai. Etant donné que cette dernière configuration est fréquente, tous les éléments sont mesurés en groupe, sauf spécification contraire.
NOTE Il est possible que les spécifications particulières permettent à des éléments tels que les éléments de renfort d'être non continus tout au long du câble. Il s'agit d'un cas particulier, et l'attention est attirée sur la spécification particulière en question.
