Optical fibre cables - Part 1-301: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Cable elements test methods - Bend test, Method G1 (IEC 60794-1-301:2023)

IEC 60794-301:2023 describes test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements of optical fibre cable elements for the mechanical property – bending. 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. Throughout the document, the wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etc. This document partially cancels and replaces IEC 60794-1-23:2019. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60794-1-23:2019:
a) reference test method IEC 60793-1-40 removed regarding the apparatus;
b) information added regarding the temperature to be specified in the detail specification;
c) new subclause added containing the details to be reported.

IEC 60794-301:2023 décrit les procédures d’essai à utiliser afin d'établir des exigences uniformes applicables aux caractéristiques mécaniques des éléments de câbles à fibres optiques: courbure. Le présent document s’applique 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. Dans tout le document, l'expression "câble optique" peut également inclure des assemblages de fibres optiques, des assemblages de fibres pour microconduits, etc. Ce document annule et remplace partiellement l’IEC 60794-1-23:2019. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’IEC 60794‑1‑23:2019:
a) suppression de la méthode d’essai référence IEC 60793-1-40 pour ce qui concerne l’appareillage;
b) ajout d'informations concernant la température à spécifier dans la spécification particulière;
c) ajout d'un nouveau paragraphe contenant les informations détaillées à consigner.

Optični kabli - 1-301. del: Splošna specifikacija - Osnovni preskusni postopki za optične kable - Preskusne metode za kabelske elemente - Upogibni preskus, metoda G1 (IEC 60794-1-301:2023)

Standard IEC 60794-301:2023 opisuje preskusne postopke, ki jih je treba uporabiti pri določanju enotnih zahtev glede elementov optičnih kablov za mehansko lastnost – upogibanje. 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. V tem dokumentu lahko izraz »optični kabel« vključuje tudi optične enote, mikrokanale itd. Ta dokument delno razveljavlja in nadomešča standard IEC 60794-1-23:2019. Ta izdaja vključuje naslednje pomembne tehnične spremembe glede na standard IEC 60794-1-23:2019:
a) V zvezi z napravo je odstranjena referenčna preskusna metoda iz standarda IEC 60793-1-40.
b) Dodane so informacije glede temperature, ki jo je treba določiti v podrobni specifikaciji.
c) Dodana je podtočka s podrobnostmi, o katerih je treba poročati.

30 FOREWORD
31 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
32 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
33 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
34 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
35 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
36 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
37 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
38 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
39 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
40 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
41 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
42 interested IEC National Committees.
43 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
44 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
45 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
46 misinterpretation by any end user.
47 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
48 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
49 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
50 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
51 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
52 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
53 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
54 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
55 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
56 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
57 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
58 Publications.
59 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cit
