Our advanced OFC testing solutions are trusted worldwide by fiber optic cable manufacturers, telecom companies, and research institutions for ensuring the mechanical, environmental, and optical performance of both indoor and outdoor fiber optic cables.
Torontech’s Optical Fibre Cable Testing Machines are specifically designed to comply with the stringent requirements of IEC 60794 standards, which define the mechanical and environmental performance criteria essential for maintaining the reliability and longevity of optical fiber cables in diverse applications—from telecommunications and data centers to military networks and industrial automation.
Compliance with IEC 60794 Standards
The IEC 60794 series is the cornerstone of optical fiber cable testing, outlining standardized methods to evaluate the mechanical strength, environmental resilience, and long-term durability of fiber optic cables. Torontech’s OFC Testers are fully compliant with this critical standard, covering key performance tests such as:
- Tensile Strength Test (IEC 60794-1-2 E1): Determines the maximum tensile load a fiber optic cable can withstand without compromising optical performance during installation and operation.
- Crush Resistance Test (IEC 60794-1-2 E3): Assesses the cable’s ability to resist compressive forces, crucial for underground installations and high-pressure environments.
- Impact Test (IEC 60794-1-2 E4): Simulates mechanical impacts to evaluate the cable’s robustness against sudden shocks or drops during handling.
- Repeated Bending Test (IEC 60794-1-2 E6): Tests the cable’s flexibility and resistance to mechanical fatigue under continuous bending cycles.
- Torsion Test (IEC 60794-1-2 E7): Evaluates the cable’s mechanical integrity under twisting forces, ensuring durability in dynamic environments.
- Temperature Cycling Test (IEC 60794-1-2 F1): Measures the cable’s performance under extreme temperature variations, verifying thermal stability over time.
- Water Penetration Test (IEC 60794-1-2 F5B): Assesses the cable’s resistance to water ingress, vital for outdoor and submarine applications.
- Abrasion Resistance Test (IEC 60794-1-2 E2): Evaluates the outer sheath’s durability against wear and mechanical abrasion.
- Kink Resistance Test (IEC 60794-1-2 E10): Determines the cable’s susceptibility to kinking, which can lead to signal loss or physical damage.
