Scope

This specification specifies the test methods of clamps for laying coaxial communication cable, including mechanical test methods and environmental test methods.

This specification applies to clamps for laying coaxial communication cables, including feeder and radiating cables.

This specification includes the following test methods:

a)      Mechanical test methods:

1)      Clamping force (Clause 5),

2)      Normal tensile force (Clause 6),

3)      Shear force (applicable to spacer clamps) (Clause 7),

4)      Suitability test (Clause 8),

5)      Fastener force test (applicable to feeder clamps) (Clause 9),

6)      High cycle fatigue (applicable to spacer clamps) (Clause 10).

b)      Environmental test methods:

1)      Climatic sequence (Clause 11),

2)      Salt mist (Clause 12),

3)      Solar radiation (applicable to outdoor clamps) (Clause 13),

4)      Cold temperature installation (applicable to spacer clamps) (Clause 14),

5)      Fire-resistance (fireproof clamp) (applicable to spacer clamps) (Clause 15).
