Overview of PLUG FLEXING TESTER

This tester is used to test the bending endurance of plugs. Hanging prescript weight on one end of the plug and repeatedly bending the other end 60° back and forth for a prescript number of times.
After a prescript number of times the plug has been bended, the operator is to check the disconnection rate of the plug to determine the bend stress strength.
Also, to test chloride insulating cables, the plug will be flexed left and right repeatedly at a 90° angle.

Overview of OPTICAL FIBER CABLE FLEXING TESTER

This tester is used for conducting flexing tests on optical fiber cables and cords.
The sample specimen is applied a certain amount of weight and bent 90° in both directions.
The specimen is then evaluated by examining the damage and loss caused by the test.

Overview ofOPTICAL FIBER CRUSH TESTER

This tester is for conducting optical fiber cable crushing tests among the testing methods of mechanical characteristics for optical fiber cable or cord.
The specimen is placed between steel plates and applied force continuously but not rapidly to avoid impact.
When the test is finished, the specimen is measured the loss and examined after set for 1 min. or more.
