Scope

IEC 61300-2-9: 2017(E) defines a test method to reveal mechanical weakness and/or degradation of fibre optic devices when subjected to repetitive or non-repetitive mechanical shocks. It simulates infrequent repetitive or non-repetitive shocks likely to be encountered in normal service or during transportation. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

- inserted clause "Terms and definitions";

- added precise descriptions to clause "Apparatus";

- added sub clause "Testing" into clause "Procedure";

- added "Bibliography".

Keywords: degradation of fibre optic devices, vibration test, transport test
