1 Scope

This part of IEC 60794 applies to aerial optical fibre cables such as all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cables, optical ground wire (OPGW) cables, and optical phase conductor (OPPC) cables that can be exposed to aeolian vibrations.

This document defines the test procedures to establish uniform mechanical performance requirements relating to aeolian vibrations.

See IEC 60794‑1‑2 for general requirements and definitions and for a complete reference guide to test methods of all types.
