This part of IEC 60794 describes test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for optical fibre cables for the environmental property- nuclear radiation.
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.
Method F7A evaluates performance degradation of optical fibre cable in environmental background radiation; Method F7B evaluates performance degradation of optical fibre cable in adverse nuclear environments.
