DIN 58141-7:2013-07

This standard is applicable for measurement of fiber optic light guide cables with glass fibers for image- and data transmission (distances up to 100 m) as well as for transmission of light and optical radiation in the near infrared and ultraviolet spectral range. The application of this standard is limited to light guide cables with fiber bundles containing minimum 50 fibers. The standard is not applicable for fiber optic components and products, intended for telecommunication and data transmission over distances greater than 100 m. The purpose of this standard is to define a uniform method for determining tensile load capacity of fiber optic cables.
