Optical fibre cables - Part 1-208: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Environmental test methods - Pneumatic resistance, Method F8 (IEC 60794-1-208:2025)
IEC 60794-208:2025 describes test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for optical fibre cables for the pneumatic resistance environmental property, for unfilled cables which are protected by gas pressurization. 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 60794‑1‑208 cancels and replaces method F8 of the second edition of IEC 60794‑1‑22 published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the form of the formula for pneumatic resistance is modified for ease of calculation with test pressures other than 62 kPa;
b) details to be reported are added.

IEC 60794-208: 2025 décrit les procédures d’essai à utiliser afin d'établir des exigences uniformes relatives aux câbles à fibres optiques pour ce qui concerne la caractéristique dans l'environnement de la résistance pneumatique, applicable aux câbles non remplis protégés par pression gazeuse. 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.NOTE Dans tout le document, l'expression "câble optique" peut également inclure des assemblages de fibres optiques, des assemblages de fibres en microconduits, etc.
Cette première édition de l'IEC 60794‑1‑208 annule et remplace la méthode F8 de la deuxième édition de l'IEC 60794‑1‑22 parue en 2017. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) la présentation de la formule relative à la résistance pneumatique est modifiée pour faciliter le calcul comportant des pressions d'essai distinctes de la valeur 62 kPa;
b) des Informations détaillées à consigner ont été ajoutées.
