IEC 60794-1-211 Ed. 1.0 b – Optical fibre cables – Part 1-211: Generic specification – Basic optical cable test procedures – Environmental test methods – Sheath shrinkage, method F11

IEC 60794-1-211:2021 defines test procedures to measure the shrinkage of the sheath due to thermal exposure of cables. A first test method, F11A, is included for cables where the fibre or buffered fibre and the sheath of the cable are intended to be fully terminated into a connector at one or both cable ends. A second test method, F11B, is included in this document for sheath shrinkage testing for general purpose. See IEC 60794-1-2 for a reference guide to test methods of all types and for general requirements.
