Optical Fiber Cable Abrasion Testing Machine

The Optical Fiber Cable Abrasion Testing Machine TT- OFCA is designed to determine the ability of an optical fiber cable sheath and markings to resist abrasion.

Standards:

  1. IEC-60794-1-2-E2A
  2. IEC-60794-1-2-E2B

  • Telecommunication Fiber Cables – Tests sheath durability against abrasion during installation and long-term use.
  • Outdoor and Armored Cables – Evaluates resistance to surface wear caused by environmental factors and handling.
  • Cable Markings Verification – Assesses abrasion resistance of markings, labels, and identification codes to ensure long-lasting readability.
  • Industrial and Harsh-Environment Applications – Confirms cable reliability where frequent contact with rough surfaces may occur.
  • Automotive and Transport Wiring – Validates sheath and marking endurance under vibration and friction.
  • Research and Quality Control – Provides IEC 60794-1-2-E2A/E2B standardized testing for product development and certification.
