TIA ANSI/TIA-455-33-B

This test is intended to verify the ability of an optical fiber cable to perform satisfactorily as required by Detail Specifications (a) while undergoing tensile and bending forces and (b) after undergoing tensile and bending forces.

NOTE: This procedure is frequently used in concert with FOTP-38, Measurement of Fiber Strain in Cables Under Tensile Load. Users are cautioned that the Detail Specification generally inserts specific steps from FOTP-38 into the procedure of this FOTP.
