Tensile strength requirements for optical cable sheaths
IEC 60794-1-311:2024 describes test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements of optical fibre cable elements for the mechanical property – tensile strength and elongation at break. Refer to the cable specification sheet for the specific allowed tension for each cable. The outer sheath is made from black UV-stabilized and weather resistant material which is SHF1 classified, and may be exposed for shorter periods to fluids such as diese and mineral oils. For fiber optic cable, the tensile strength of a cable represents the highest load or pulling force that can be placed upon any cable before any damage occurs to the fibers or their optical properties and characteristics.
