Introduction
This procedure provides a method to determine the ability ofoptical fiber cables to withstand impact loads.
The following parameters may be measured or observed:
(a) The number of broken fibers caused by impacting thecable.
(b) Damage to the outer sheath.
(c) Changes in optical transmittance.
This test method may be too stringent for some product designsand applications, and the recommended criteria may be quitemoderate for other applications. When specifying product testrequirements, Detail Specification writers should keep in mind theapplicability of this test relative to their needs. DetailSpecification writers should also recognize that there may belittle or no justification for increasing or decreasing impactforces solely on the basis of an increase in cable diameter.
