EN 50289-3-1 2001 Communication cables - Specifications for test methods - Part 3-1: Mechanical test methods - General requirements EN 50290-1-2 1) Communication cables - Part 1-2: Definitions 3 Definitions For the purposes
21、 of this European Standard the definitions of EN 50290-1-2 apply. 4 Test method 4.1 Sample 4.1.1 Sample length The sample length shall be sufficient to carry out the specified test. When only physical damage is to be evaluated, the length may range from 1 m (for example for small diameter jumper cor
22、ds or duplex cables) to 5 m (for larger diameter cables). Longer lengths may be necessary to carry out electrical or optical transmission measurements. 4.1.2 Termination Unless otherwise specified in the relevant cable specification, the cable samples shall be terminated at each end in a connector,
23、or in a manner such that the fibres/conductors, sheathings and any strain members are clamped together in a representative manner. The clamps on the impact apparatus may be adequate, or the sample may be long enough that no restraint is needed.1)At draft stage.- 5 - EN 50289-3-6:2001 4.2 Equipment T
24、he apparatus shall allow an impact to be impacted to a cable sample which is fixed to a flat substantial steel base. When a single or only a few impacts are required, a suitable apparatus, as shown in Figure 1a, is used. This allows a weight to drop vertically onto a piece of steel which transmits t
25、he impact to the cable sample. When repeated impacts are required (say, more than five), a more practical apparatus as shown in Figure 1b, is used which allows multiple impacts by a drop hammer. In both cases, other equivalent apparatus may also be used. The striking surface contacting the sample sh
26、all be rounded, either as a hemisphere (Figure 1c, 3A) or a cylinder (Figure 1c, 3B). The radius R of the surface shall be specified in the detail specification. The apparatus shall include any test equipment needed to measure the changes in performance requested in the relevant cable specification.
27、 4.3 Procedure Unless otherwise specified, the conditions for testing shall be in accordance with EN 50289-3-1. If necessary, the sample shall be pre-conditioned at standard atmospheric conditions for 24 h. The mass of the weight or drop hammer and the height from which it falls shall be adjusted to
28、 give the value of impact energy shown in the detail specification. The number and rate of impacts and their location on the sample shall be as specified in the relevant cable specification. 5 Test report The test report shall include: - number of impacts; - impact energy; - test temperature; - radi
29、us of the striking surface; - frequency of multiple impacts (if any); - location of impacts on the sample; - tests to be performed; - temperature; - sample length; - pass/fail criteria, e.g.: - loss of optical continuity, - degradation of optical transmittance, - localised un-acceptable reflection (
30、or change in impedance), - degradation of return loss and crosstalk, - physical damage to the cable.EN 50289-3-6:2001 - 6 -Supports Guide Hammer Steel intermediate striking face Steel base Sample Figure 1a Apparatus for few impacts Arm Drive pin Sample Steel base Striking face Hammer Guide Free runn
