39 FOREWORD
40 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
41 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
42 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
43 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
44 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
45 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
46 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
47 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
48 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
49 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
50 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
51 interested IEC National Committees.
52 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
53 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
54 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
55 misinterpretation by any end user.
56 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
57 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
58 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
59 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
60 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
61 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
62 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
63 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
64 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
65 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
66 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
67 Publications.
68 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
69 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
70 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
71 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
72 IEC 60794-1-130 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and cables, of IEC technical
73 committee 86: Fibre optics. It is an International Standard.

99 Basic optical cable test procedures –
100 Mechanical test methods – Coefficient of friction between cables
102 1 Scope
103 This part of IEC 60794 describes test procedures to evaluate the coefficient of dynamic friction
104 of the sheathing material of the sheathing material of the cable when pulled over or between
105 the other same type cables. Method E30A or E30B evaluates the coefficient of friction when a
106 cable is pulled over the other cables (drum test) or when pulling a cable between the other
107 cables (flat plate test).
108 This document applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and
109 devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres
110 and electrical conductors.
111 Throughout the document, the wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units,
112 microduct fibre units.

131 5 Method E30A: Coefficient of friction between cables (drum test)
132 5.1 Object
133 The object of this test is to ensure that the coefficient of friction of the sheathing material of a
134 specified cable against another specified cable is less than the value specified. Coefficient of
135 friction between two cables is an important parameter for installation of a cable in a duct or tray
136 having previously installed cable.
137 NOTE This method is known as method E30 in IEC 60794-1-21:2020.
138 5.2 Sample
139 Two cables, which may be of the same type and size, or different, as specified, are selected.
140 The first cable shall be of sufficient length to make 2, or more (as specified), turns on the test
141 sheave. The second (test) cable shall be of sufficient length to make 1/2 turn about the test
142 sheave holding the first cable, plus length sufficient for pulling and for attaching the pulling
143 apparatus and the snubbing force apparatus on the ends.
144 5.3 Apparatus
145 The apparatus, illustrated in Figure 1, shall consist of the following.
146 – A sheave: the sheave root diameter, D , shall be 20 to 25 times the second cable diamete
