TIA TIA-455-37-A Document Information:
Title
FOTP-37 Low or High Temperature Bend Test for Fiber Optic Cable
Telecommunications Industry Association
Publication Date:
Mar 9, 1993
Scope:
This revision of FOTP-37 significantly expands the scope of the
original issue by increasing the
number of test procedure options. Four test procedures are included in
this method:
a. Procedure I: A procedure to test cable samples for physical damage
and optical loss increase
using a single-end configuration.
b. Procedure II: A procedure to test cable samples for physical damage
and optical loss increase
using a double-end configuration.
c. Procedure III: A procedure to test cable samples for physical
damage and fiber breakage. (Note:
This procedure is very similar to the single procedure of the original
issue of FOTP-37. See 1.4
for further information.)
d. Procedure IV: A procedure to test cable samples only for physical
damage, in accordance with UL
444. Appropriate parameters to be used are listed in 1.3.2, and in
Sections 3 and 5. Note that UL
444 testing would, normally, only be required for a Composite fiber
optic cable; that is, one
containing metallic conductors in addition to fiber optic components.
Using one of these Procedures, all types of fiber optic cables may be
tested for bending
performance at various temperature extremes.
