Overview
This part of IEC 61300 describes a test to determine the influence of a side load applied to a cord assembled with a strain relief. For this purpose, the load is simulated which, due to a length of fibre cable, would typically be experienced during service. Components should withstand side loads during optical transmission without degradation of the optical performance. Besides the boot, any feature that controls the bending radius of the fibre can be considered as strain relief. The standard provides manufacturers and test laboratories with security in the definition of the tests and serves as a reference for quality assurance. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 412.7 "LWL-Verbindungstechnik und passive optische Komponenten" ("Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive optical components") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
