CNC-1000 SERIES
Optical Cable Crush Testing Machine
UNIVER CNC-1000 Series is designed to perform crush tests on optical cables in accordance with IEC 60794-1-2 E3. The system features a servo-controlled screw drive mechanism that applies compressive force with high precision and repeatability.
Intent
The purpose of the crush test is to expose the optical cable to crushing or clamping forces that may occur during installation, operation, or maintenance. Such forces can potentially deform the cable to a degree that adversely affects optical signal transmission.
Objective
- To verify the mechanical integrity of the optical cable and the supporting hardware when subjected to crush forces.
- To verify the optical performance of the optical cable when subjected to crush forces
Setup
The crush test shall be carried out on a sample of cable according to the method provided by TIA-455-41 (FOTP-41).
Acceptance criteria
The maximum attenuation increases during load or after release of load shall not exceed 0.1dB at 1550nm for any single-mode fiber under test
