Fiber Optic Cable Vertical Combustion Test Standard

Home / Fiber Optic Cable Vertical Combustion Test Standard

IEC 60332‑1‑2:2025 specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions using a 1 kW pre-mixed flame. Corning Optical Communications manufactures quality flame retardant optical fiber cables for indoor applications, which comply with the requirements of the National Electric Code® (NEC® 2023) published by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA).
