What is BS EN 3745-405 - Low/High temperature bend test for optical cables about?
BS EN 3745-405 is a European standard that specifies a method of determining the attenuation variation of an optical cable during mechanical bending under load at the maximum and minimum operating temperatures.
Who is BS EN 3745-405 - Low/High temperature bend test for optical cables for?
BS EN 3745-405 on Low/High temperature bend test for optical cables is useful for:
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Design engineers for optical cables
- Quality control personnel for spacecraft products
- Manufacturers of optical cables and fibres
Why should you use BS EN 3745-405 - Low/High temperature bend test for optical cables?
The attenuation of an optical fibre measures the amount of light lost between input and output. Attenuation is the reduction in the power of the light signal as it is transmitted and is caused by passive media components such as cables, cable splices, and connectors.
Attenuation in optical fibre occurs due to many factors, including light absorption, cable bending and connector loss. BS EN 3745-405 assists you in measuring attenuation variation during such cases.
BS EN 3745-405 guides you regarding the preparation of the specimen, apparatus to use, and procedure for conducting low/high temperature bending tests on fibres and cables to assess attenuation variation.
BS EN 3745-405 also provides you with the final measurements and requirements for the method used for assessing attenuation variation.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 3745-405, you can enhance the functioning of optic fibres and cables.
