Description

This revision of FOTP-37 significantly expands the scope of the
original issue by increasing the number of test procedure options.
Four test procedures are included in this method:

a. Procedure I: A procedure to test cable samples for physical
damage and optical loss increase using a single-end
configuration.

b. Procedure ll: A procedure to test cable samples for physical
damage and optical loss increase using a double-end
configuration.

c. Procedure Ill: A procedure to test cable samples for physical
damage and fiber breakage. (Note: This procedure is very similar to
the single procedure of the original issue of FOTP-37. See 1.4 for
funher information.)

d. Procedure IV: A procedure to test cable samples only for
physical damage. in accordance with UL 444. Appropriate parameters
to be used are listed in 1.3.2. and in Sections 3 and 5. Note that
UL 444 testing would. normally. only be required for a Composite
fiber optic cable; that is, one containing metallic conductors in
addition to fiber optic components.

Using one of these Procedures, all types of fiber optic cables
may be tested for bending performance at various temperature
extremes.
