BS EN 60793-1-50:2015

This standard BS EN 60793-1-50:2015 Optical fibres is classified in these ICS categories:

• 33.180.10 Fibres and cables

This part of IEC 60793 provides a practical method for evaluating fibre performance in a defined environment.

The purpose of this standard is to determine the suitability of optical fibre sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres and class B and C single-mode fibres to withstand the environmental condition of high humidity and high temperature which may occur in actual use, storage and/or transport. The test is primarily intended to permit the observation of effects of high humidity at constant temperature over a given period. This procedure is conducted in accordance with IEC 60068‑2‑78 , Test Cab.
