Description

INTRODUCTION

This method describes a procedure for determining the linear
dimensional changes in extruded plastic cable jackets due to
exposure at elevated temperatures while in place on a
cable.

The primary use of the test procedure is evaluation of optical
fiber cables. Results of this testing can inform decisions of the
performance of cables in closures, connectors, or other
terminations. Testing of the basic morphological changes in the
extruded jacket material, independent of the cable structure, is
addressed in Annex A (normative) in order to clarify the test
procedures. This Annex comprises the test procedure details of the
original FOTP-86.

The intent of this procedure is to determine compliance of a
cable specimen at a specified temperature for a specified period of
time. Users who desire to characterize the time-response of a cable
specimen at elevated temperatures should consider using IEC
60794-1-22, method F11, "Sheath shrinkage (cables intended for
patch cords)".
