Abstract :
An experimental technique is presented in order to separate the contributions of the intrinsic attenuation and of the fibre perturbation. This appears useful for extrapolating attenuation measurements performed on single pieces of fibres, and moreover for optimisation procedures in cable manufacturing processes.
