24、re optic interconnecting devices and passive components Basic test and measurement procedures Part 3-1: Examinations and measurements Visual examination 3 General description 3.1 Test methods Two test methods are described for measuring the attenuation of random mated optical connectors. Both provid
25、e an estimate of the expected average performance that a group of patchcords (including adaptors, if applicable) selected from a batch will exhibit when utilised in an optical system. The patchcords, and any adaptors, must be chosen at random to ensure that the measurements provide a statistically u
26、nbiased estimate. Method 1 describes the procedure based on the use of 10 patchcords (20 optical connectors) and 10 adaptors. In this case all of the plugs are sequentially used as “reference” plugs and all of the remaining plugs are tested against them. The result is based on 360 measurements as in
27、dicated in the test matrix shown in Figure 3. Method 1 is intended to be part of a design approval exercise that may involve one or more suppliers. Once approval is achieved, Method 2 would be relied on to maintain process control. However, in the event of a dispute, Method 1 shall act as the refere
28、nce measurement method. Method 2 describes a procedure based on the measurement of 15 patchcords. Five patchcords are selected as “reference” patchcords, with one plug on each of the patchcords being nominated as a “reference” plug. All plugs of the remaining 10 patchcords are then tested against ea
29、ch of the five “reference” plugs. This produces 100 measurements as indicated in the test matrix shown in Figure 6. BS EN 61300-3-34:2009 6 61300-3-34 IEC:2009(E) It is recognised that the number of measurements required by Method 1 may be excessive for day-to-day routine checking of either in-house
30、 or supplier produced products. In this case, as indicated above, Method 2 may be used as an alternative option. NOTE In this measurement method, the terms “reference” plug or “reference” patchcord are used to define those components chosen at random from a batch, against which a number of comparati
31、ve measurements are made. It is not intended that the terms should imply specially chosen or manufactured components, such as those used, for example, in screen testing. 3.2 Precautions The following test requirements shall be met: 3.2.1 Precautions shall be taken to ensure that the cladding modes d
32、o not affect the measurement. Cladding modes shall be stripped as a function of the fibre coating. 3.2.2 Precautions shall be taken to ensure the position of the fibres in the test remains fixed between the measurement of P1and P2to avoid changes in attenuation due to bending losses. 3.2.3 The stabi
33、lity performance of the test equipment shall be 0,05 dB or 10 % of the attenuation to be measured, whichever is the lower value. The stability shall be maintained over the measurement time and operational temperature range. The required measurement resolution shall be 0,01 dB for both multimode and
34、singlemode. 3.2.4 To achieve consistent results, clean and inspect all connectors and adaptors prior to measurement. Visual examination shall be undertaken in accordance with IEC 61300-3-1. 3.2.5 The power in the fibre shall be at a level that does not generate non-linear scattering effects. 4 Appar
35、atus 4.1 Source (S) The source consists of an optical emitter, the means to connect to it and associated drive electronics. In addition to meeting the stability and power level requirements, the source shall have the following characteristics: Centre wavelength: as detailed in the performance and pr
36、oduct standard; Spectral width: filtered LED 150 nm FWHM; Spectral width: LD 10 nm FWHM. For multimode fibres, broadband sources such as an LED shall be used. BS EN 61300-3-34:200961300-3-34 IEC:2009(E) 7 For singlemode fibres either an LED or LD may be used. NOTE The interference of modes from a co
37、herent source will create speckle patterns in multimode fibres. These speckle patterns give rise to speckle or modal noise and are observed as power fluctuations, since their characteristic times are longer than the resolution time of the detector. As a result, it may be impossible to achieve stable
38、 launch conditions using coherent sources for multimode measurements. Consequently, lasers, including OTDR sources, should be avoided in favour of LEDs or other incoherent sources for measuring multimode components. 4.2 Launch conditions (E) The launch condition shall be specified in accordance with
39、 Annex B of IEC 61300-1. 4.3 Detector (D) The detector consists of an optical detector, the means to connect to it and associated electronics. The connection to the detector will be an adaptor that accepts a connector plug of the appropriate design. The detector shall capture all light emitted by th
40、e connector plug. In addition to meeting the stability and resolution requirements, the detector shall have the following characteristics: Linearity: multimode 0,25 dB (over 5 dBm to 60 dBm); singlemode 0,1 dB (over 5 dBm to 60 dBm). NOTE The power meter linearity shall be referenced to a power leve
41、l of 23 dBm at the operational wavelength. Where the connection to the detector is broken between the measurement of P1 and P2, the measurement repeatability shall be within 0,05 dB or 10 % of the attenuation to be measured, whichever is the lower value. A large sensitive area detector may be used t
42、o achieve this. The precise characteristics of the detector shall be compatible with the measurement requirements. The dynamic range of the power meter shall be capable of measuring the power level exiting from the DUT at the wavelength being measured. 5 Procedure 5.1 Method 1 5.1.1 Randomly choose
43、10 patchcords for testing. Label the plugs under test sequentially from 1a through to 10b (i.e. 1a 1b, 2a 2b, 3a 3b.10a 10b). 5.1.2 Randomly choose 10 adaptors. Label each adaptor sequentially 1 through 10. 5.1.3 Insert patchcord 1a 1b into the measurement system as shown in Figure 1. Using plug 1a
44、as the “reference” plug, measure the power P1.

46、 A is fibre attenuation per kilometre; L is length of the test patchcord in km. NOTE The product A L may be ignored for both singlemode and multimode 50/125 m and 62,5/125 m where the patchcord length is small, i.e. 10 m. 5.1.6 Enter the insertion loss value into the test matrix shown in Figure 3. 5

49、 patchcord so that plug 1b becomes the “reference” plug. 5.1.13 Measure the insertion loss of all test plugs against the “reference” plug 1b and adaptor 1. 5.1.14 When step 5.1.13 has been completed, replace the “reference” plug and adaptor so that plug 2a and adaptor 2 becomes the “reference” configuration. 5.1.15 Measure the insertion loss of all test plugs against “reference” plug 2a and adaptor 2. 5.1.
