Description / Abstract:
INTRODUCTION
The intent of this test is to determine the ability of a fiber
optic cable to mechanically and optically withstand, or recover
from (or both), the effects of a slowly-applied compressive force.
The following parameters may be measured or observed:
the number of fibers broken during the compressive loading,
the changes in optical transmittance or attenuation during or
after the loading,
any change in the outer covering.
