29、bre optic connector interfaces 3 General description 3.1 Test methods Two test methods are described for measuring the attenuation of random mated optical connectors. Both provide an estimate of the expected average performance that a group of cable assemblies (including an adaptor, if applicable) s
30、elected from a batch will exhibit when used in an optical system. The cable assemblies, and any adaptors, must be chosen at random to ensure that the measurements provide a statistically unbiased estimate. Method 1 describes the procedure using a sample of cable assemblies and adaptors specified in
31、Table 1. In this case the plugs (with pins) are used as “reference” plugs and the plugs (without pins) are tested against them sequentially. The results, based on the number of measurements specified in Table 1, are recorded in the test matrix shown in Figures 3 to 5. Method 1 is intended to be part
32、 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 reference measurement method. BS EN 61300-3-45:2011 6 61300-3-45 IEC:2011 Method 2
33、describes a procedure for the measurement of a sample of cable assemblies specified in Table 2. Three cable assemblies are selected from the sample as “reference” cable assemblies and pins are fitted. The other test cable assemblies (without pins) are tested against each of the three “reference cabl
34、e assemblies” sequentially. This produces the number of measurements specified in Table 2 and the results are recorded in the test matrix shown in Figures 10 to 12. It is recognised that the number of measurements required by Method 1 may be excessive for day-to-day routine checking of either in-hou
35、se or supplier produced products. In this case, as indicated above, Method 2 may be an alternative option. NOTE In this measurement method, the terms “reference” plug or “reference” cord are used to define those components chosen at random from a batch, against which a number of comparative measurem
36、ents 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.

Cladding modes shall be stripp
39、ed as a function of the fibre coating. b) Precautions shall be taken to ensure that the position of the fibres in the test remains fixed between the measurement of P1and P2to avoid changes in attenuation due to bending losses. c) The stability performance of the test equipment shall be 0,05 dB or 10
40、 % 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 single mode. BS EN 61300-3-45:201161300-3-45 IEC:2011 7 d) To
41、 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 and IEC 61300-3-35. NOTE A cladding mode stripper usually comprises a material having a refractive index equal to or greater than t
42、hat of the fibre cladding. 4 Apparatus 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
43、detailed in the performance and product standard; Spectral width, filtered light emitting diode (LED) 150 nm full width half maximum (FWHM); Spectral width, laser diode (LD) 10 nm FWHM. For multimode fibres, broadband sources such as an LED shall be used. For single mode fibres either an LED or LD m
44、ay be used. NOTE The interference of modes from a coherent 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.
45、 As a result, it may be impossible to achieve stable launch conditions using coherent sources for multimode measurements. Consequently, lasers, including optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) sources, should be avoided in favour of LEDs or other incoherent sources for measuring multimode componen
46、ts. 4.2 Launch conditions (E) The launch condition shall be specified in accordance with 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
47、of the appropriate design. The detector shall capture all light emitted by the connector plug. In addition to meeting the stability and resolution requirements, the detector shall have the following characteristics: Linearity of multimode, 0,25 dB (over 5 dBm up to 60 dBm); Linearity of single mode,
48、 0,1 dB (over 5 dBm up to 60 dBm). NOTE The power meter linearity should be referenced to a power level 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 a
49、ttenuation to be measured, whichever is the lower value. A large sensitive area detector may be used to 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 device under test (DUT) at the wavelength being measured.
