Test Background
Optical cable mechanical performance test refers to a test to test the ability of optical cable products to resist external mechanical forces. Optical cables are subject to various external mechanical forces during manufacturing, transportation, construction and use. Optical cables are under the action of external mechanical forces. The optical fiber in the optical cable is likely to be affected by external mechanical forces, and its transmission performance may change, its service life may be shortened, and fiber breakage may even occur. The mechanical performance technical indicators of optical cables are important technical indicators of optical cable product quality.
Zhongke Testing Reliability Experiment Center has the mechanical properties of various optical cables and provides professional mechanical performance testing services such as tensile performance testing, abrasion testing, and flattening testing for optical cables.
Scope of tests
1. According to different transmission performance, distance and purpose, optical cables can be divided into user optical cables, local optical cables, long-distance optical cables and submarine optical cables.
2. According to the different conditions of transmission conductors and media, optical cables can be divided into metal-free optical cables, ordinary optical cables, and comprehensive optical cables (mainly used for railway dedicated network communication lines).
3. According to different laying methods, optical cables can be divided into pipeline optical cables, direct buried optical cables, aerial optical cables and underwater optical cables.
4. According to different structural methods, optical cables can be divided into flat structure optical cables, layered optical cables, skeleton optical cables, armored optical cables and high-density user optical cables.
