IEC 60794-1-130:2025

Optical fibre cables - Part 1-130: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Mechanical tests methods - Coefficient of friction between cables, Methods E30

OVERVIEW

IEC 60794-1-130:2025 describes test procedures to evaluate the coefficient of dynamic friction of the sheathing material of a cable when pulled over or between other cables. Methods E30A and E30B evaluate the coefficient of friction between cables for when either a cable is pulled over the top of other cables (drum test) or when pulling a cable between other cables of the same shape (flat plate test). 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. Throughout the document, wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units and microduct fibre units.

This first edition cancels and replaces Method E24 of the first edition of IEC 60794-1-21 published in 2015, Amendment 1:2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
