IEC 61300-1:2011 contains a series of environmental test and measurement procedures and, in some cases, preferred severities designed to assess the ability of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components to perform under expected service conditions. Although the severities are primarily intended for land-based communications, the procedures may be used for other applications. The object of this standard is to provide uniform and reproducible environmental test procedures and measurement procedures, for those preparing specifications for fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. The changes with respect to the previous edition are to reconsider the terms and definitions and multimode launch conditions.
Contains a series of environmental test and measurement procedures and, in some cases, preferred severities designed to assess the ability of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components to perform under expected service conditions. The object is to provide uniform and reproducible environmental test procedures and measurement procedures, for those preparing specifications for fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. Information is provided on the following properties of components and equipment, such as connectors, splices, switches, attenuators, etc.: a) ability to operate within specified limits of temperature, pressure, humidity, mechanical stress, or other environmental conditions and certain combinations of these conditions; b) ability to withstand storage and transport; c) ability to meet the specified levels of optical performance.
IEC 61300-1:2016 provides general information and guidance for the basic test and measurement procedures defined in the IEC 61300-2 and IEC 61300-3 series for interconnecting devices and passive components. This standard should be used in combination with the relevant specification which will define the tests to be used, the required degree of severity for each of them, their sequence, if relevant, and the permissible performance limits. In the event of conflict between this basic standard and the relevant specification, the latter will take precedence. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: reconsideration of the terms and definitions; addition of Clause 4.
