BS EN 3745-505:2018

What is BS EN 3745-505 - Cable tensile strength about ?  

BS EN 3745-505 is a European Standard that specifies a method for measuring the tensile properties of a fibre optic cable. 

BS EN 3745-505 shall be used together with EN 3745-100.  

BS EN 3745-505 covers terms and definitions, preparation of specimen, apparatus and method relating to test method for cable tensile strength. 

Who is BS EN 3745-505 - Cable tensile strength for ? 

BS EN 3745-505 on tensile strength of a cable is useful for: 

• Aerospace avionic and fibre optic technology 
• Spacecraft and space products manufacturers 
• Aerospace and defence industries  
• Design engineers for optical cables 
• Quality control personnel for spacecraft products 
• Manufacturers of optical cables  

Why should you use BS EN 3745-505 - Cable tensile strength ? 

The tensile strength of a cable represents the highest load or pulling force that can be placed upon any cable before any damage occurs to the fibres or their optical properties and characteristics. 

BS EN 3745-505 gives guidelines on measuring the tensile properties of fibre optic cable to improve reliability and credibility of fibre optic cable production and testing.
