IEC 60794-1-210:2026

IEC 60794-1:2026 describes test procedures used to establish uniform requirements for optical fibre cables for the environmental property - underwater cable resistance to hydrostatic pressure.
This document applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors.
See IEC 60794-1-2 for a reference guide to test methods of all types and for general requirements.
This first edition cancels and replaces Method F10 of the second edition of IEC 60794-1-22 published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) modification of original method F10 which becomes F10A with modification of the detailed content of apparatus, procedure and details to be specified and addition of set-up;
b) addition of two test methods F10B and F10C to cover the different test object and procedure.
