TIA/EIA Engineering Standards and Publications are designed to serve the public interest
through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating
interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and
obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for his particular need. Existence of such
Standards and Publications shall not in any respect preclude any member or nonmember of
TIA/EIA from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such Standards and
Publications, nor shall the existence of such Standards and Publications preclude their voluntary
use by those other than TIA/EIA members, whether the standard is to be used either domestically
or internationally.
Standards and Publications are adopted by TIA/EIA in accordance with the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) patent policy. By such action, TIA/EIA does not assume any liability
to any patent owner, nor does it assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting the Standard
or Publication.
This Standard does not purport to address all safety problems associated with its use or all
applicable regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to
establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations before its use.

0 3. APPARATUS
The following apparatus and equipment is required to perform this
test:
3.1 T e s t Fixture. The test fixture shall consist of two flat
contact plates, one of which is movable. As shown in Figure 1,
the plate length shall be 100 mm (4 in.)/ with a 6 mm (1/4 in.)
radius rounded contact edge to prevent cutting the cable. The
contact width of the plate shall be greater than the determined
width of the cable. Unless otherwise specified in the Detail
Specification, the hardness of both the stationary and movable
plates shall be Rockwell RB-90, minimum.

5.2 Place the specimen in the test apparatus, taking care that
no initial stress is applied to the specimen. Mount the cable
specimen in a manner to prevent lateral motion of the cable in
the test fixture.
5.2.1 Position the cable so that the fiber unit to be examined
or measured optically is in the direct path of the applied load.
0 (A "unit" is loosely defined here as a tube, groove, bundle, cord
or other structure containing one or more optical fibers.)
5.2.2 Unless otherwise specified by the Detail Specification, in
cases where the cable is other than a round configuration (e.g.,
ribbon, under-carpet, zip-cord), mount the specimen flat in the
compression apparatus with the major dimension of the cable
against the plate surface.
5.2.3 Affix the specimen ends in an appropriate manner to assure
that there is no movement of these ends in the test apparatus
throughout the test.
