Scope

This part of IEC 60794-1 describes test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for optical fibre cables for the mechanical property – repeated 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.

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