This document specifies a method of measuring the semi loose effect of a semi loose cable. Pull proof optical contacts are used. The optical contact (ferrule) is longitudinally moving to preserve the optical performance even when cables are pulled. Consequently, the buffered fibre moves beneath the strength members (called semi loose effect). This document describes a test methodology to assess the quality of the cable when contact is pulled or pushed. The standard EN 3745-801 has been prepared by the ASD-STAN of the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) with the participation of German experts at DIN Standards Committee Aerospace (NL). The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 131-04-10 AA "LWL und LWL-Komponenten" ("Fibre optic cables and components") at DIN Standards Committee Aerospace (NL).
