25、 1-2: Definitions 3 Definitions For the purposes of this European Standard the definitions of EN 50290-1-2 apply. 4 Single bending 4.1 Equipment A single mandrel apparatus shall enable the sample to be wrapped tangentially in a close helix around a test mandrel. 4.2 Test sample 4.2.1 Optical cables

26、The sample shall be terminated at each end in a manner such that the fibres, sheath(s) and any strain members are clamped together in a representative manner.1)At draft stage.EN 50289-3-9:2001 - 6 - 4.2.2 Coaxial cables The sample shall be terminated at each end by suitable connectors. 4.2.3 Symmetr

27、ical cables The sample shall be fitted at each end with suitable terminations. 4.3 Procedure As indicated in the relevant cable specification, one of the following two procedures shall be used. 4.3.1 Procedure 1 The sample shall be wrapped in a close helix around the mandrel at a uniform rate. Suffi

28、cient tension shall be applied to ensure that the sample contours the mandrel. The sample shall then be unwrapped. A cycle consists of one wrapping and one unwrapping. The diameter of the test mandrel, the number of turns per helix and the number of cycles shall be shown in the relevant cable specif

29、ication. 4.3.2 Procedure 2 The sample shall be bent around a mandrel through 180 and kept taut during the bending. A cycle consists of one U bend followed by a reverse U bend, and returned to the straight position. The diameter of the test mandrel and the number of cycles shall be stated in the rele

30、vant cable specification. 4.4 Requirements The acceptance criteria for the test shall be stated in the relevant cable specification. Typical failure modes include loss of optical or electrical continuity, degradation of optical transmittance or transmission performance or physical damage to the cabl

31、e. 4.5 Test report The test report shall include: - procedure to be used (procedure 1 or procedure 2); - test mandrel diameter (or ratio of mandrel diameter to cable diameter); - number of cycles; - number of turns (for procedure 1); - maximum allowable attenuation increase: - during the test (if ap

32、plicable), - after the test (if applicable); - test temperature; - pass/fail criteria- 7 - EN 50289-3-9:2001 5 Repeated bending 5.1 Equipment The apparatus shall permit a sample to be bend backwards and forwards through angles up to 180, the two extreme positions making an angle of 90 on both sides

33、of the vertical, whilst being subjected to a tensile load. For testing cable, a suitable apparatus is shown in Figure 1. For testing cable/connector assemblies, a suitable apparatus is shown in Figure 2. Other equivalent apparatus may be used. The bending arm shall have an adjustable clamp of fixtur

34、e to permit holding the cable securely during the entire test. For connectorized cables, a connector may be used to hold the cable on the bending arm providing that its characteristics fit with the tensile load. The apparatus shall be capable of cycling. Displacing the sample from the vertical posit

35、ion to the extreme right position then oscillating to the extreme left position and returning to the original vertical position is considered to be one cycle. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant cable specification, the bending rate shall be approximately one cycle in 2 s. The apparatus shall

36、 include any test equipment needed to measure the changes in transmission performance requested in the relevant specification. 5.2 Test sample 5.2.1 Sample length The sample length shall be sufficient to carry out the testing specified. When only physical damage is to be evaluated the length may ran

37、ge from 1 m (for example for small diameter jumper cords) to 5 m (for larger diameter cables). Longer lengths may be necessary to permit transmission measurements. 5.2.2 Termination The sample may be terminated at each end in a connector, or in a representative manner. The clamps on the bending appa

38、ratus may be adequate, or the sample may be long enough that no restraint is needed. 5.3 Procedure The procedure can be defined by 6 steps. Step 1 : Precondition sample at standard atmospheric conditions for 24 hours. Step 2 : Fix the sample to the apparatus as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Step 3 : App

39、ly the weight of mass as shown in the relevant cable specification. Step 4 : Measure acceptance criteria parameters to establish baseline values. Step 5 : Carry out repeated bending for the number of cycles specified in the relevant cable specification. Step 6 : Carry out acceptance criteria paramet

40、er measurements. If necessary the sample may be removed from the apparatus for visual examination. 5.4 Requirements The acceptance criteria for the test shall be stated in the relevant cable specification. Typical failure modes include loss of transmission performance of physical damage to the cable

The pulleys shall ha

43、ve a semicircular shaped groove for circular cables and a flat groove for flat cables. The restraining clamps D shall be fixed so that the pull is always applied by the weight from which the carrier is moving away. 6.2 Test sample The sample shall be terminated at each end in a connector, or in a re

44、presentative manner. The length of the sample shall be sufficient to carry out the testing specified. 6.3 Procedure The sample shall be stretched over the pulleys, each end being loaded with a weight. The mass of this weight and the diameter of the pulleys A and B shall be as specified in the releva

45、nt cable specification. The sample shall be flexed for the number of cycles specified in the relevant cable specification. A cycle is defined as the movement of the carriage away from its starting position to one end of the traverse followed by movement in the opposite direction to the other end and

46、 then back to the starting position. 6.4 Requirements The acceptance criteria for the test shall be stated in the relevant cable specification. Typical failure modes include less of transmission performance or physical damage to the cable. 6.5 Test report The test report shall include: - diameter of
