Optical fibres - Part 1-22: Measurement methods and test procedures - Length measurement IEC 60793-1-22 ED2

Scope

IEC 60793-1-22: 2024 establishes uniform requirements for measuring the length and elongation of optical fibre (typically within cable). The length of an optical fibre is a fundamental value for the evaluation of transmission characteristics such as losses and bandwidths. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Inclusion of category C single mode fibres in Table 1;
b) Inclusion of a new informative Annex F on Brillouin frequency shift test method to determine the tensile strain applied to a fibre.
