RELEVANT STANDARDS FOR TESTS
IEC 60794-4-10, IEEE 1138

# Test name Standard / Parameters and Procedures


1 Aeolian vibration Standard: IEC 60794-1-21 E19, IEEE 1138
test Setup conditions:
The aerial cable sample must be installed in the vibration span at 15%-
25% RTS. Cable length: min 50 m. Active span: minimum 20m.
FITTINGS: Static sag angle to horizontal: 1.5±0.5degrees
- 2 Ten. Deadends The cable shall be submitted to 10 million cycles with following
conditions:
• Frequency: 830/[cable diameter in mm] ±10 Hz. 49Hz
• Amplitude (peak-to-peak): [Cable diameter in mm]/3 ±10%
5.6mm
• Free loop conductor velocity = 275 mm/s
All fibres shall be spliced in a single loop. Attenuation shall be monitored
at 1550nm. Cable shall be dissected after test is completed.
Pass criteria:
Attenuation ≤ 0.2 dB/Km at 1550 nm.
Cracking or breaking of any component of the OPGW cable or the
supporting hardware shall constitute failure. This assessment is made
with the naked eye.
2 Creep test Standard: IEC 61395, IEEE 1138
Sample length: min. 10m.
Duration: 1000 hours (500h each load)| Mech. Load: 25% & 40% RTS.
FITTINGS: Attenuation @1550nm shall be monitored
- 2 Ten. Deadends Pass criteria:
No pass criteria.
An extrapolation to 15 years of an OPGW sample tensioned at 25 % & 40%
RTS must be submitted
3 Short-Circuit test Standard: IEC 60794-4-10, IEC 60794-1-401, IEEE 1138
Test setup and procedure:
Cable length: minimum 10 m. | Length of optical fibres: minimum 100m.
FITTINGS: Current pulse: 120 KA2 S (20 kA x0.3s) fully asymmetry.
- 2 Ten. Deadends Number of pulses: 3 | Initial temperature: 30 º C | Mech. Tension: 1520%
RTS
According to IEC 60794, this test may be replaced by an adequate
theoretical calculation method if agreed between the customer and
supplier.
Pass criteria:
Optical attenuation shall not exceed 0.15 dB/km of the test fiber at
1550 nm.
Birdcaging or breaking of the conductor strands shall constitute
failure.
