CLIMATE TESTS
The climatic chamber of the German company Feutron allows us to simulate the conditions of transport, installation and operation of fiber optic splice protectors at temperatures from -75 ° C to + 180 ° C. An additional function of the chamber is the possibility of testing products in relative humidity conditions from 10 to 95%. The research process is supported by the FKS WinControl program for operating climate simulation devices.
In the chamber, we test fiber optic splice protectors in accordance with the following requirements:
