27、not part of this Standard.) This document comes from TIA Project No. 4725 and was formulated under the cognizance of TIA FO- 6.3, Subcommittee on Fiber Optic Interconnecting Devices. There are two annexes to this Standard. Annex A is normative and is considered part of this Standard and Annex B is i
28、nformative and is not considered part of this Standard iv TINEIA-455-1 71A FOTP-171 ATTENUATION BY SUBSTITUTION MEASUREMENT FOR SHORT OPTICAL FIBER CABLE ASSEMBLIES LENGTH MULTIMODE GRADED INDEX AND SINGLE-MODE 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Intent These test methods describe procedures for measuring the attenu
29、ation by substitution of short length multimode graded index and single-mode optical fiber cable assemblies. The cable assemblies have a connector on only one end of the cable (pigtail) or have connectors on both ends of the cable (patch cord). The connectors on the patch cord may be identical or di
30、fferent from each other. These tests are primarily used for multimode cables of 100 meters or less in length and for single-mode cables of any length. These tests primarily evaluate connector loss since the fiber loss is usually a small portion of the total loss. For those assemblies that are long e
31、nough for the fiber loss to be a significant portion of the loss, the fiber loss will have to be taken into account when specifying limits for the measured loss. It is important to emphasize that measurement of the loss of a given cable assembly during a factory test will not necessarily be the same
32、 as a loss measurement of the same cable assembly in actual field use. The actual loss of the cable assembly depends on the properties of all of the mating components, the orientation of the components, and the launch condition of the light as it enters the connection. In a factory test only the com
33、ponents that are part of the cable assembly to be tested are accessible. The connector(s) that will be mated to the cable assembly in actual field use are not. Even though factory loss measurements are not necessarily the same as loss measurements in actual field use, the concatenation test is prese
34、nted here as a suitable alternative which provides an estimate of average system loss performance. NOTE - The results of this test method are not directly comparable with those of FOTP-34, which is an interconnection device insertion loss test. This FOTP tests cable assemblies and FOTP-34 tests a co
35、mplete connection (splice, device, connector set, etc.) installed between two like fibers. 1.2 Test methods This FOTP contains twelve methods for testing connectorized cable assem blies. The methods are designated AI, A2, A3, BI, B2, B3, CI, C2, C3, DI, D2, D3. The letter in the method designation d
36、ifferentiates the general test approach. The numerical 1 TINEIA-455-1 7 1 A character indicates whether the test is for multimode with mode filter (1) or without mode filter (2), or single-mode (3). Note - Some of the following test method descriptions refer to systems with or without transient cond
37、itions. Transient conditions are present when high order modes are propagating in the launch fiber. An overfilled launch condition will cause high order modes to be present in the launch fiber. If a cable assembly is tested using an overfilled launch condition the connection under test will pass the
38、 high order modes with more loss than the lower order modes. Until the high order modes are filtered out, they will produce a transient effect on loss measurements. For a more detailed explanation see TIA/EIA-455-50B Annex A (I nform at ive). 1.2.1 Methods AI, A2, A3 - Concatenation test for cable a
39、ssemblies with like or unlike connectors on each end using launch cable and adapter of optional reference quality 1.2.1 .I Method AI - Multimode with mode filter This concatenation test method provides an estimate of the expected performance of a group of multimode cable assemblies that will be used
40、 in systems where transient conditions are not present. An overfilled launch condition is used along with a mode filter which is included in the launch cable to produce restricted launch conditions (remove the transient conditions). The use of reference quality connectors and adapters for the launch
41、 cable is optional. 1.2.1.2 Method A2 - Multimode without mode filter This concatenation test method provides an estimate of the expected average loss of a group of multimode cable assemblies that will be used in systems where transient conditions are present. An overfilled launch condition is used
42、without a mode filter. The use of reference quality connectors and adapters for the launch cable is optional. 1.2.1.3 Method A3 - Single-Mode with high order mode filter before the cable assembly(s) under test This concatenation test is used to estimate the expected performance of single-mode cable
43、assemblies when placed in a system environment. A high order mode filter is included in the launch cable before the cable assembly(s) under test. The use of reference quality connectors and adapters for the launch cable is optional. 1.2.2 Methods BI, B2, B3 - Screening test for cable assemblies with
44、 like connectors on each end using reference quality launch connector and adapter and reference quality receive connector and adapter 1.2.2.1 Method BI - Multimode with mode filter This method tests multimode cable assemblies with like connectors on each end that will be used in systems where transi
45、ent conditions are not present. This method should be used to screen out product that is likely to produce a system loss above some 2 TINEIA-455-1 71A threshold value. An overfilled launch condition is used along with a mode filter which is included in the launch cable to produce restricted launch c
46、onditions (remove the transient conditions). The use of reference quality connectors and adapters for both launch and receive is required. 1.2.2.2 Method B2 - Multimode without mode filter This method tests multimode cable assemblies with like connectors on each end that will be used in systems wher
47、e transient conditions are present. This method should be used to screen out product that is likely to produce a system loss above some threshold value. An overfilled launch condition is used without a mode filter. The use of reference quality connectors and adapters for both launch and receive is r
48、equired. 1.2.2.3 Method B3 - Single-Mode with high order mode filter before the cable assembly under test This method tests single-mode cable assemblies with like connectors on each end to screen out any product likely to produce a system loss above some threshold value. A high order mode filter is
49、included in the launch cable before the cable assembly under test. The use of reference quality connectors and adapters for both launch and receive is required. 1.2.3 Methods CI, C2, C3 - Screening test for cable assemblies with unlike connectors on each end using reference quality launch connector and adapter and reference quality receive connector and adapter 1.2.3.1 Method CI - Multimode with mode filter This method tests multimode cable assemblies with unlike connectors on each end that will be used in systems where transient conditions are not present.
