FOTP-6 Cable Retention Test Procedure for Fiber Optic Cable Interconnecting Devices
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| TIA | 1992 | 18 |
Intent.1
The intent of this test is to mechanically stress the
interconnecting-device-to-fiber-optic-cable-joint in tension. The
results of this test provide an indication as to the relative
strength of the cable-to-intercnnecting device joint and may also
indicate degradation resulting from prior environmental
exposure.
Failure Modes. Potential failure modes for this
test includ, but are not limited to:
a. Cable Jacket Damage,
b.Fiber breakage or damage,
c. cable clamp failure,
d. Loss of optical continuity,
f. Failure of fiber-terminus relative to interconnecting
device.
g. Cable seal damage.
h. Excessive movement of cable/terminus relative to
interconnecting device,
i. Degradation of cable.connector optical trasmission
characteristics.
1 This method is similar to Method 2009.1 of
MIL-STD-1344A.
