This part of IEC 60794 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.
The document defines test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for mechanical performance-straight midspan access to optical elements.
Throughout this document, the wording "optical cable" also includes optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etc.
See IEC 60794-1-2 for a reference guide to test methods of all types and for general requirements and definitions.
