DIN 58141-7:2013-07

The DIN 58141 standard series specifies measurement methods for fiber optic elements. The standard DIN 58141-7 is applicable for measurement of fiber optic light guide cables made of 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 at least 50 fibers. It is not applicable for fiber optic elements and products intended for telecommunication and data transmission over distances greater than 100 m. The purpose of this standard is to specify a uniform method for determining tensile load capacity of fiber optic cables. The standard has been prepared by Working Committee NA 027-01-16 AA "Faseroptik" ("Fibre optics") at NAFuO.
