TIA 455-64 : 1998(R2002)

Defines methods for measuring both the steady state response of optical fibers and cables exposed to continuous radiation and the transient response of optical fibers and cables exposed to a pulse or radiation. It can be used to determine the level of radiation-induced attenuation produced in single-mode or multimode optical fibers, in either cabled or uncabled form. This test procedure is not intended to test the non-optical components of a fiber-optical cable. Other test methods may be required to evaluate the degradation of cable materials resulting from radiation exposure.
