Optical Fiber Cable Tensile & Crush Testing Machine

The MM-GLY Series Optical Fiber Cable Tensile & Crush Testing Machine is engineered to assess the tensile strength and crush resistance of optical fiber cables, ensuring their durability during installation and operation. The machine enables closed-loop testing for force, displacement, or deformation, offering high accuracy for tensile and crush tests. Designed to comply with industry standards like IEC 60794-1-2 (Methods E1 and E3), it evaluates attenuation, elongation, and the cable’s ability to withstand mechanical stress. This machine is an ideal tool for testing labs, manufacturers, and research institutions involved in fiber optic cable production and quality assurance.
