23、1998 BSI 06-1999 3 1 General 1.1 Scope and object This screen test is prepared for single-mode non-angled optical fibre connectors which are tunable. The purpose of this part of IEC61300 is to ensure that tuned plugs have been optimally adjusted. The procedures described in this test are applicable

24、for both optical patch cords and pigtail cords. 1.2 General description Attenuation in single mode connectors is mainly caused by lateral misalignment of the respective fibre cores. The misalignment is related to lateral offsets of the fibre core centre to the ferrule centre of each connector plug.

25、Tuned connectors are used for the realization of attenuations lower than a certain specified value of L maxin random concatenation in the field. In order to realize this, the plug shall have a lateral offset of fibre core centre to the ferrule centre smaller than a certain specified value of R max .

26、 In addition, the tuned plug has a key for orienting the plug. The plug shall be assembled so that the direction of its fibre core centre to its ferrule centre coincides with its keying direction with an adjusting error less than a specified value adj (=2;/N adj , where N adjis the adjusting number)

27、, where a recommended adjusting number N adjis4,6 or8. The screen test methods described in the subsequent procedure are able to identify plugs having the desired tuning performance. The tests ensure that the plugs passing this test have attenuations lower than L maxwhen they are randomly concatenat

28、ed to each other. Two methods are described for screen testing the assembled tuned connectors: method 1: attenuation measurement method with a reference plug and a standard adjustment plug; method 2: fibre core position measurement method with optical instruments. 1.3 Normative reference The followi

29、ng normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IEC61300. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of IEC61300 are

The axis of the alignment feature or the V-groove shall coincide with that of a microscope. 2.2.3 Microscope unit MS: the microscope unit shall consist of a microscope and a processing unit. The microscope shall have enough magnification to observe the fibre core centr

37、e of the objective plug ferrule. The processing unit shall have the ability to magnify the feature of the ferrule end face obtained with the microscope so that the fibre core can be observed on a video monitor. A total magnification greater than400 is recommended for the measurement of the fibre cor

38、e centre. In addition, the processing unit shall be equipped with a measurement function which measures the position of the fibre core centre on the video monitor. 2.2.4 Video monitor M 2.2.5 Temporary joints TJ 3 Procedure 3.1 Method 1 The surface of plug ferrules and alignment sleeves shall be cle

39、aned before test using a dust free cleaner. The clean condition shall be maintained during the test. Even microscopic dust affects the accuracy of the test. The measurement method of attenuation shall comply with the insertion method (B) of IEC61300-3-4. Unless otherwise stated in the detail specifi

40、cation, the conditions of the attenuation measurement are as follows: measurement condition: at ambient condition; optical source: laser diode. 3.1.1 Measure attenuation L 0of an objective plug using the reference plug and the reference adaptor, and confirm the measured value L 0(seeFigure 1). This

41、value should be less than a specified value of L max.If L 0is greater than L max , then the objective plug does not pass the test. 3.1.2 Connect the objective plug to the standard adjustment plug using the standard adjustment adaptor so that the key direction of the objective plug coincides with the

42、 keying direction which is the key direction of the standard adjustment plug (seeFigure 2a). Measure the power P 0(seeFigure 2c). 3.1.3 Repeat the following procedure N adj 1 times: disconnect the objective plug from the standard adjustment plug and rotate it by adj.Connect the objective plug to the

43、 standard adjustment plug so that the key direction of the objective plug becomes N(=N adj ) from the keying direction (seeFigure 2b). Measure the power P N(seeFigure 2c). 3.1.4 Confirm P 0is the largest compared to P 1 ,., P N , ., and P Nadj1 , and the objective plug passes the test. If P 0is not

44、the largest, then the objective plug does not pass the test.EN61300-2-41:1998 BSI 06-1999 5 Figure 1 Method 1: Measurement procedureEN61300-2-41:1998 6 BSI 06-1999 3.2 Method 2 The surface of plug ferrules and an alignment feature shall be cleaned before the test using a dust free cleaner. The clean

45、 condition shall be maintained during the test. Even microscopic dust affects the accuracy of the test. When an objective plug ferrule is fixed in the alignment feature, the portion of the ferrule shall be precisely in contact with the surface of the alignment feature. The length of the ferrule cont

46、acting the alignment feature shall be twice larger than the diameter of the ferrule. 3.2.1 Affix the ferrule of the objective plug in the alignment feature (seeFigure 3). Connect the opposite end of the objective plug cord to the visible light source. Adjust light power so that the fibre core of the

47、 objective plug can be observed on the video monitor through the microscope. Rotate the plug so that its key direction coincides with some pre-defined direction (keying direction) of the alignment feature (seeFigure 4a). Measure the position Q 0of the fibre core centre using the processing unit and

48、video monitor (seeFigure 5a). 3.2.2 Repeat the following procedure N adj1 times: rotate the plug by adjso that its key direction becomes N(= N adj ) from the keying direction of the alignment feature (seeFigure 4b). Measure the position Q Nof the fibre core centre using the processing unit and video

49、 monitor (seeFigure 5b). 3.2.3 Calculate the ferrule centre position Q Fof the objective plug using the data of the positions Q 0 , Q 1 , ., Q N., and Q Nadj1of the rotated fibre core centre (seeFigure 5c).
