UNDERSTANDING TENSILE STRENGTH ITS IMPORTANCE IN ENGINEERING

What is tensile strength in optical cables

What is tensile strength in optical cables

For fiber optic cable, the tensile strength of a cable represents the highest load or pulling force that can be placed upon any cable before any damage occurs to the fibers or their optical properties and characteristics. Tensile strength measures the maximum pulling force a fiber optic cable can withstand before breaking. Coaxial cable is designed to withstand greater physical stress and is often used in applications where durability and ruggedness are important factors. Traditional installations in controlled environments have given way to harsh outdoor conditions, underwater.

Measuring the tensile strength of optical cables

The tensile test is conducted as per the IEC test procedure and measurements are made in order to analyze the fiber attenuation as a function of the load on the cable during installation. You rely on this property to ensure the reliability of your cable during installation and operation.

Tensile strength of metallic optical cables

Tensile strength of metallic optical cables

Tensile strength tells you how much pulling force a fiber optic cable can handle before it breaks. This test method applies to optical fibre cables which are tested at a particular tensile strength in order to examine the behaviour of the attenuation and/or the fibre elongation strain as a function of the load on a cable which may occur during installation and operation. The outer sheath is made from black UV-stabilized and weather resistant material which is SHF1 classified, and may be exposed for shorter periods to fluids such as diese and mineral oils. Some manufacturers conduct this test on a 50 meter sample while others prefer to do this test on a more than 120 meters sample.
