This European Standard supersedes EN 61280-4-1:2004. The main changes w
14、ith respect to EN 61280-4-1:2004 are listed below: an additional measurement method based on optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) is documented, with guidance on best practice in using the OTDR and interpreting OTDR traces; the requirement for the sources used to measure multimode fibres is chan
15、ged from one based on coupled power ratio (CPR) and mandrel requirement to one based on measurements of the near field at the output of the launching test cord; highlighting the importance of, and giving guidance on, good measurement practices including cleaning and inspection of connector end faces

42、ling using multimode fibre, typically in lengths of up to 2 000 m. This cabling can include multimode fibres, connectors, adapters and splices. Cabling design standards such as ISO/IEC 11801, ISO/IEC 24702 and ISO/IEC 24764 contain specifications for this type of cabling. ISO/IEC 14763-3, which supp
43、orts these design standards, makes reference to the test methods of this standard. In this standard, the fibre types that are addressed include category A1a (50/125 m) and A1b (62,5/125 m) multimode fibres, as specified in IEC 60793-2-10. The attenuation measurements of the other multimode categorie
44、s can be made, using the approaches of this standard, but the source conditions for the other categories have not been defined. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
