Optical fibres - Part 1-46: Measurement methods and test procedures - Monitoring of changes in optical transmittance

Gives two methods for monitoring the changes in optical transmittance of optical fibres and cables that occur during mechanical and environmental testing. It provides a monitor in the change of optical transmission characteristics arising from optical discontinuity, physical defects and modifications of the attenuation slope. The methods are the change in transmittance by transmitted power, and by backscattering. They apply to both multimode and single-mode fibres.

Optical fibres - Part 1-46: Measurement methods and test procedures - Monitoring of changes in attenuation

IEC 60793-1-46:2024 establishes uniform requirements for the monitoring of changes in attenuation, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial purposes. This document gives two methods for monitoring the changes in attenuation of optical fibres and cables that occur during mechanical or environmental testing, or both. It provides a monitor in the change of attenuation characteristics arising from optical discontinuity, physical defects and modifications of the attenuation slope: - method A: change in attenuation by transmitted power; - method B: change in attenuation by backscattering. Methods A and B apply to the monitoring of all categories of the following fibres: - class A: multimode fibres; - class B: single-mode fibres; - class C: single-mode intraconnection fibres. Information common to both measurements is contained in Clause 1 to Clause 10, and information pertaining to each individual method appears in Annex A, and Annex B respectively.
