IEC 61300-2-43:2022
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 2-43: Tests - Screen testing of return loss of single-mode PC optical fibre connectors
IEC 61300-2-43: 2022 aims at screening single-mode physical contact (PC) optical fibre connector plugs of an optical fibre patch cord or an optical fibre pigtail in terms of return loss, thus ensuring minimum return loss when the connector plugs are randomly mated with each other in the field. This document is intended to apply to cylindrical ferrule connector plugs. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: addition of Clause 3 containing terms, definitions, and abbreviated terms.

IEC 61300-2-43:2014 aims at screening single-mode physical contact (PC) optical fibre connectors of an optical fibre cord or an optical fibre pigtail in terms of return loss, thus ensuring minimum return loss when the connectors, which have been screen tested by this method, are randomly mated with each other in the field. This second edition of IEC 61300-3-43 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1999 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - revision of the scope; - revision of the procedure; - addition of measurement uncertainty into the 'Details to be specified'; - addition of a bibliography. Keywords: single-mode physical contact (PC) optical fibre connectors, return loss
