What is BS EN 61300-2-37 - Cable bending for fibre optic closures test about?
BS EN 61300 is a European standard that discusses fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. BS EN 61300-2-37 provides the best industry guidance on the cable bending for fibre optic closures test to ensure their proper assessment.
BS EN 61300-2-37 is the thirty-seventh subpart of the second part of a multi-part series that outlines a test for the effectiveness of the sealing and clamping hardware of a fibre optic closure when the cable entering or exiting the fibre optic closure is subjected to bending.
Who is BS EN 61300-2-37 - Cable bending for fibre optic closures test for?
BS EN 61300-2-37 on cable bending for fibre optic closures test is useful for:
- Fibre optic cable manufacturers
- Test centres
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 61300-2-37 - Cable bending for fibre optic closures test?
Fibre optic closures closure is an enclosure intended to protect splices and joints against water and dust ingress.
BS EN 61300-2-37 guideline assists you with a general description of the device under test (DUT) and test procedure for cable bending for fibre optic closures.
BS EN 61300-2-37 also guides procedures for preparation of the DUT, pre-conditioning, initial measurements, conditioning, bending procedure, recovery, and final measurements for cable bending for fibre optic closures.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 61300-2-37, you can efficiently assess the cable bending for fibre optic closures. In addition, assists by providing you with proper guidance on cable bending for fibre optic closures.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 61300-2-37:2016 supersedes EN 61300-2-37:2006, which is withdrawn. BS EN 61300-2-37:2016 has some technical changes compared to EN 61300-2-37:2006. These include:
- Substantial updating of Subclauses 4.1, 6.5, 6.7 and Figure 1
- Addition of severities which are determined by the number and direction of cable bends, test temperature and overpressure for each environmental category according to IEC 61753-1
