EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60794-4 testing. IEC EN 60794-4 covers cable construction, test methods, optical, mechanical, environmental and electrical performance requirements for fiber optic aerial cables and cable elements intended for use along power lines (OCEPL) as a high-bandwidth transport medium for communication. This standard excludes figure-8 optical cables to be used in telephone power poles. IEC TR 62839-1 gives recommendations to the customer to provide environmental declaration upon request.
Single-mode fiber optics meeting the requirements of IEC EN 60793-2 will be used. In case of mutual agreement between the user and the supplier, fibers other than those mentioned above can also be used.
In general, optical cables contain several elements or separate components, depending on the cable design, which takes into account the cable application, operating environment and manufacturing processes, as well as the need to protect the fiber during transport and cabling. The materials used for a cable element should be chosen to be compatible with other elements in contact with it. An appropriate compatibility test method should be defined in the family or detail specification.
Optical elements are cable elements containing optical fibers and are designed to be the primary functional unit of the cable core. They may contain any of the cable elements described below. The optical elements and each fiber within a cable element must be uniquely identified or specified in the detailed specification, such as colors, a position diagram, markings, tapes, threads.
Tests can be performed on cable elements as cordless or finished cable. Unless otherwise specified, testing should be performed on cable elements in a finished cable. This means that if the cable element fabrication is done by the same manufacturer as the wiring, the test will only be performed on a finished cable. Testing should be performed on cable elements only if the cable element is provided by a third party; this does not exclude testing of the finished cable.
