Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Performance standard - Part 111-09: Sealed closures - Category S - Subterranean

IEC 61753-111-09:2021 contains the minimum tests, test severities and measurement requirements which a sealed fibre optic closure need to meet in order to be categorised as meeting the IEC standard for category S – Subterannean, as defined in Table A.15 of IEC 61753？1:2018. This first edition cancels and replaces IEC 61753-111-9 published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61753？111？9:

terms and definitions updated according to IEC 61753-1:2018 and IEC 61756-1:2019;
detailed test severities added for UV light and fungus resistance tests of materials;
test severities updated according to IEC 61753-1:2018;
laboratory test conditions harmonized with IEC 61300-1 to +23 °C ± 5 °C, unless otherwise specified;
addition of B-657 fibre types with minimum bending radius of stored fibres according to IEC 61756-1:2019;
vibration sealing test changed to 10 Hz, 3 mm amplitude and 1 000 000 cycles;
reduced loads added in cable retention test for small diameter cables and tubes;
reduced loads for cable axial compression test for small diameter cables and tubes;
duration of the cycle
