Description

INTRODUCTION

Intent

The intent of this bend test is to determine the degree of cable
degradation that will occur if the
cable is statically bent around a corner of a given radius. Cables
that are most likely to be
subject to this type of bend in actual installation are building
entrance cables, flexible cables
and buried service type cables.

Potential failure modes

Potential failure modes for this test include:

a) Optical performance degradation.

b) Cracking, splitting, or tearing of cable jacket.

c) Cable jacket deformation resulting in a permanent degradation of
protection to the optical core
of the cable.
