Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 2-35: Tests - Cable nutation

Publication date:   Sep 19, 2014

Scope

IEC 61300-2-35:2014 details procedures for determining the suitability of a fibre optic device to withstand nutation that may occur during operation, service, storage and/or transport. The test is intended to indicate the performance of such devices when exposed to torsion and bending as a combined load. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1995, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - addition of new normative references; - addition of new terms and definitions; - addition of two figures for test apparatus: one with horizontal rotation DUT, one with rotating deflection unit; - severity reconsidered. Keywords: nutation, fibre optic device
