Scope

This part of IEC 60794 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.

The object of this standard is to define test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for sheath pull-off force for optical fibre cable for use in patch cords.

Throughout this standard the wording “optical cable” may also include optical fibre units.

See IEC 60794-1-2 for general requirements and definitions and for a complete reference guide to test methods of all types.
