7、de optical fibre cable links Summary Recommendation ITU-T G.650.3 outlines the tests normally carried out on installed single-mode optical fibre cable links. It includes a collection of references to the main measurement methods and gives an indication of which are most suitable for installed cable

8、links, depending on the required inspection level needed. Optical fibre cable links are comprised of multiple cable sections, splices and other connections. This term is more completely defined in this Recommendation. This Recommendation uses a tiered approach. The first level indicates measurements

9、 that are normally carried out to commission new optical fibre cable links. The second level indicates measurements that may be carried out to satisfy service level agreements (for example, when a dark fibre contract is signed) or to verify attributes of older links that may be used at higher bit ra

10、tes or over extended wavelength ranges. Source Recommendation ITU-T G.650.3 was approved on 29 March 2008 by ITU-T Study Group 15 (2005-2008) under Recommendation ITU-T A.8 procedure. Keywords Fibre characterization. ii Rec. ITU-T G.650.3 (03/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union

11、(ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and

12、issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these

13、 topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expres

14、sion “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicabilit

15、y) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Reco

16、mmendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability o

As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this

ITU-T G.650.3 (03/2008) 1 Recommendation ITU-T G.650.3 Test methods for installed single-mode optical fibre cable links 1 Scope This Recommendation contains test methods which are particularly suited to the

22、characterization of single-mode optical fibre cable links. The methods are not intended for application to links that contain optical network elements, amplifiers, dispersion compensators or passive splitters/combiners. Measurements associated with these devices, in combination with optical fibre ca

23、ble are defined elsewhere. These measurements of the cable links between such devices and the calculation methods for combining the results of concatenated cable links are also presented. This Recommendation uses a tiered approach. The first level indicates measurements that are normally carried out

24、 to commission new optical fibre cable links. The second level indicates measurements that may be carried out to satisfy service level agreements (for example, when a dark fibre contract is signed) or to verify attributes of older links that may be used at higher bit rates or over extended wavelengt

37、cal fibre cable link is the summation of the attenuations of fibre cable sections, splices between cable sections and connections between, and at the end of, cable sections. The definition of attenuation is given in ITU-T G.650.1. Some examples of link attenuation measurement results are found in b-

38、ITU-T G-Sup.39. Rec. ITU-T G.650.3 (03/2008) 3 3.2.2 chromatic dispersion of an optical fibre cable link: The overall chromatic dispersion of an optical fibre cable link is the summation of the chromatic dispersions of the individual cables that comprise the link at the wavelengths of interest. See

39、b-ITU-T G-Sup.39 for more information on how the dispersion from different cable sections is summed together. 3.2.3 fibre characterization: A comprehensive suite of measurements that is carried out on an optical fibre cable link to determine the key performance attributes of that link which may affe

40、ct current or future applications that operate over that link. Fibre characterization also allows the quality of the optical fibre cable link to be assessed, including the identification of the type and grade of fibre installed. Full fibre characterization includes connector end face inspection, ins

41、ertion loss measurements, return loss measurements, OTDR testing, chromatic dispersion testing, polarization mode dispersion measurement, and spectral attenuation. 3.2.4 single-mode optical fibre cable link: A single-mode optical fibre cable link is a collection of passive fibre optic components tha

42、t together form a continuous optical fibre pathway between two end points. The end points will typically be patch panels or optical distribution frames where the fibres are terminated with connectors. The link will typically be comprised of many optical fibre cable sections, jointed end to end. A co

43、mplex link may contain additional connectors at intermediate patch panels and therefore be made up of two or more concatenated simple links. 3.2.5 uniformity of fibre link: The uniformity of a fibre link is defined as the longitudinal variation in the attenuation coefficient and/or chromatic dispers

44、ion coefficient along that link. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: CD Chromatic Dispersion CWDM Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing DGD Differential Group Delay DWDM Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing ffs for further study GINTY G

46、ds 5.1 Test methods for characteristics of optical fibre cable links following installation The purpose of testing an optical fibre cable link following installation is primarily concerned with proving that the components used (fibres, connectors, etc.) meet their specifications and that the install

47、ation has been carried out to a good standard of workmanship (for example, splice losses meet their specification and the cable link is free from damage). 4 Rec. ITU-T G.650.3 (03/2008) Primarily, it is the attenuation characteristics of the optical fibre cable link that are commonly tested as part

48、of commissioning a new installation as these are the characteristics which may be most affected by the installation process and the quality of installation workmanship. The criteria for newly installed optical fibre links are defined by the operating company. As an example, for attenuation, these cr

49、iteria may be not only on the overall link attenuation, but also on the individual cable sections and fibres, the individual splice and connector losses, and other uniformity characteristics. One approach of defining the overall attenuation limit is to consider the attenuation coefficient and length of the individual cable sections, the number of splices or connectors and their maximum allowed losses, and combine the values according to the formulas of Appendix I of ITU-T G.
