Scope

This part of IEC 61300 specifies a test to determine the influence of flexing under tensile load of the strain relief of fibre optic interconnecting devices, passive components or hardened connectors. The intention is to simulate the number of flexing cycles which would typically be experienced during service life.

The test procedure contained in this document is described for connectors and hardened connectors terminated to reinforced cables. The test procedure can also be used for passive components terminated to reinforced cables in the same way.
