Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 3-4: Examinations and measurements - Attenuation
IEC 61300-3-4: 2022 describes the various methods available to measure the attenuation of optical components. It is not, however, applicable to random mate attenuation measurements as described in IEC 61300-3-34 and IEC 61300-3-45 nor for attenuation measurements of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) devices as described in IEC 61300-3-29. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) addition of Clause 3 containing terms, definitions and abbreviated terms;b) addition of a new LSPM measurement method, insertion method (D);c) addition of Annex A describing attenuation measurement of multicore fibre;d) changed reference test method to insertion C and alternative test method to substitution or insertion D for power meter and type 4 DUT.The contents of the corrigendum of June 2023 have been included in this copy.

Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 3-4: Examinations and measurements - Attenuation
IEC 61300-3-4:2012 describes the various methods available to measure the attenuation of optical components. It is not, however, applicable to dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) components, for which IEC 61300-3-29 should be used. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2001. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - revision of source conditions, launch conditions and power meter parameters; - addition of safety recommendations; - removal of launch condition details for multimode fibres, now referenced in 61300-1. Key words: measure the attenuation of optical components
