28、 and optical evaluation may be used. For the purposes of this standard, a sealing performance test sample is defined as a closure installed with several cable ends. Optical test samples shall be constructed as described in 6.2. Due to their complexity, consecutive testing on the same optical sample

29、is allowed. The minimum recommended sample sizes are given in Annex B. 6.2 Test sample preparation Sealing performance test samples shall be provided with an air pressure test access valve. The length of the cables extending the closure shall be at least 1 m. The open ends of the cables shall be sea

30、led. Each applicable cable type with minimum and maximum cable dimensions shall be represented in the test program. Optical test samples shall be constructed in such a way that they will cover all allowed functions of a track joint and/or distribution joint. This shall be realised by building optica

31、l circuits for each fibre separation level (typical SC, SE, SR, ME or MR splicing and uncut fibre storage). The fibres for the optical test samples are covered in Annex A. Optical test sample construction: Both extremities of a looped cable are terminated in the Track Joint closure (see Figure 4). T

32、he length of the looped cable is chosen in such a way that it is longer than the “dead zone” of an OTDR. This will allow the location of the potential causes of optical losses and differentiate if a change in signal is induced by the organiser system in a single location or distributed over the whol

33、e circuit length. The required length depends on the selected pulse width and dynamic range of the OTDR. Typically a cable loop length of 25 m to 50 m is applied for this purpose.

35、 in the cable loop. The first and the last fibre of this circuit will be spliced to the fibres of a drop cable for making external connections to a light source and optical power meter. All relevant fibre separation levels (SC, SE, SR, ME or MR) are to be represented in the test sample, preferably i

37、e middle of the looped cable, the cable jacket will be removed over a distance (= window cut) according to the installation instructions (see Figure 5). The bundle of uncut fibres will be inserted and stored inside the distribution joint closure. If uncut fibres can be stored in different separation

38、 levels (SC, SE, SR, ME or MR) each of these options shall be executed, preferably in separate circuits. A non-active drop cable will be installed in the distribution joint closure and the fibres will be stored randomly on the organiser system in between the uncut fibres. NOTE These fibres will be a

39、ccessed again during the intervention/reconfiguration Test 23. 6.3 Test and measurement methods All tests and measurements have been selected from EN 61300 series. Unless otherwise stated in the individual test details, all attenuation measurements shall be performed at (1 310 25) nm, (1 550 25) nm

40、and (1 625 25) nm for the environmental optical tests, and at (1 550 25) nm and (1 625 25) nm for the mechanical optical tests. All optical losses indicated are referenced to the initial attenuation at the start of the test. BS EN 50411-2-3:2012EN 50411-2-3:2012 (E) 19 An “incoming fibre” is defined

41、 as a part of an optical circuit containing the fibre entering the product, spliced to a fibre leaving the product. One optical circuit can contain many “incoming fibres”. Light will sequentially flow through all “incoming fibres”. No deviation from the specified test method is allowed. 6.4 Test seq

42、uence There is no defined sequence in which Tests 6 - 24 must be run. 6.5 Pass/fail criteria A product will have met the requirements of this specification provided no failures occur in any test. In the event of a failure occurring on a sealing performance test sample, the test shall be re-run using

43、 a sample size double that of the original. Due to the complexity of the optical test samples, consecutive testing on the same optical sample is allowed In case of a failure during the consecutive testing, a new sample shall be prepared and the failed test shall be re-done. 7 Test report A fully doc

44、umented test report and supporting data shall be prepared and must be available for inspection as evidence that the tests described in Clause 8 have been carried out in accordance with this specification. 8 Product qualification requirements 8.1 Dimensional and marking requirements Dimensions and ma

45、rking of the product shall be in accordance with the requirements of Clause 5 and shall be measured using the appropriate EN test method.
