Overview
This part of IEC 60794 defines the test procedure to demonstrate the ability of an optical fibre cable to withstand multiple coiling and uncoiling on a specified diameter of cable reel. This test is primarily intended to evaluate the performance of cables for mobile rapid or multiple deployment. See IEC 60794-1-2 for a reference guide to test methods of all types and for general requirements. The standard describes the test procedure, the requirements, and the details specified in the individual provisions, as well as the details that shall be included in the test report. There are no restrictions on the scope of application of this document. Application of this document increases investment security for manufacturers and users and provides testing laboratories and manufacturers with defined specifications for testing.
