ITU-T L.206 (08/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The

9、 ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standar

10、dization 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 topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information t

11、echnology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Comp

12、liance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other o

13、bligatory 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 Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementa

14、tion of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As

15、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 Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged

ITU-T L.206 (08/2017) Introduction Cabinets are widely used for protection of cross-connection

20、 points among multiple cables in outdoor environments. A cabinet along with internal functional assemblies can be referred to as an outdoor cross-connect cabinet. An optical cross-connect cabinet comprises a mechanical structure (cabinet housing) for mechanical protection and environmental sealing o

21、f internal systems, a fibre management system for guiding and managing the fibres and fibre connections inside the node, and a cable attachment and termination system for attaching and terminating the cable ends. Patch cords, splitters and other passive optical devices are optional accessories of a

22、cabinet. The optical cross-connect cabinet will: work as a cross-connection area in outdoor plant; protect the fibres, fibre joints and optical devices from the outdoor environment at ground level (normally, on a concrete base) and above ground (e.g., wall mounted or pole mounted by steel supports);

23、 provide for the organization of the fibre joints, passive devices and the storage of fibre overlength (excess fibre length); provide electrical bonding and grounding of the metal parts of the cable sheath and strength members. This Recommendation specifies the requirements of optical cross-connect

24、cabinets and the means for characterization and evaluation of the performance of cabinets according to the principles of ITU-T L.200. This includes mechanical performance, sealing performance and optical stability of the product which simulate the effect of environmental factors or interventions rel

25、ated to network maintenance and reconfiguration. It contains a basic test programme for the cabinet that is globally applicable. Additional requirements may be agreed between customer and supplier to reflect local or special conditions. All functions and features that a product may contain should be

26、 reflected in the mix of test samples that are subjected to the test programme. Rec. ITU-T L.206 (08/2017) 1 Recommendation ITU-T L.206 Requirements for passive optical nodes Outdoor optical cross-connect cabinets 1 Scope This Recommendation: refers to optical cross-connect cabinets as passive optic

28、 a test plan for the performance evaluation of outdoor optical cross-connect cabinets; supplies the simulation of the effect of interventions related to network maintenance and reconfiguration; gives a checklist for a systematic product characterization according to ITU-T L.200. 2 References The fol
