Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 1: General and guidance

Scope

Contains a series of environmental test and measurement procedures and, in some cases, preferred severities designed to assess the ability of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components to perform under expected service conditions. The object is to provide uniform and reproducible environmental test procedures and measurement procedures, for those preparing specifications for fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components.Information is provided on the following propities of components and equipment, such as connectors, splices, switches, attenuators, etc.: a) ability to operate within specified limits of temperature, pressure, humidity, mechanical stress, or other environmental conditions and certian combinations of these conditions; b) ability to withstand storage and transport; c) ability to meet the specified levels of optical performance.
