EN 60793-1-50:2015

Optical fibres - Part 1-50: Measurement methods and test procedures - Damp heat (steady state) tests

IEC 60793-1-50:2014 provides a practical method for evaluating fibre performance in a defined environment. The purpose of this standard is to determine the suitability of optical fibre sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres and class B and C single-mode fibres to withstand the environmental condition of high humidity and high temperature which may occur in actual use, storage and/or transport. The test is primarily intended to permit the observation of effects of high humidity at constant temperature over a given period. This procedure is conducted in accordance with IEC 60068-2-78, Test Cab. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2001, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - harmonization of the content with sectional specifications of relevant fibre types; - extension of the applicability of the standard to class C single-mode fibres. Keywords: evaluating fibre performance, sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres, class B and C single-mode fibres, high humidity and high temperature

Lichtwellenleiter - Teil 1-50: Messmethoden und Prüfverfahren - Feuchte Wärme (konstant)

Fibres optiques - Partie 1-50: Méthodes de mesure et procédures d'essai - Essais de chaleur humide (état continu)

L'IEC 60793-1-50:2014 présente une méthode pratique pour l'évaluation des performances des fibres dans un environnement défini. L'objet de la présente norme est de déterminer l'aptitude des fibres optiques multimodales de sous-catégories A1a à A1d et des fibres optiques unimodales de classes B et C à résister aux conditions d'environnement présentant une forte humidité et une température élevée, susceptibles de survenir en utilisation réelle, pendant le stockage et/ou le transport. L'essai est essentiellement destiné à permettre l'observation des effets d'une forte humidité à température constante pendant une période donnée. Cette procédure est appliquée conformément à l'IEC 60068-2-78, Essai Cab. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition, publiée en 2001, dont elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - l'harmonisation du contenu avec les spécifications intermédiaires concernant les types de fibres correspondants; - l'extension de l'applicabilité du document aux fibres unimodales de classe C. Mots clés: évaluation des performances des fibres, multimodales de sous-catégories catégories A1a à A1d, des fibres optiques unimodales de classes B et C, humidité et une température élevée

Optična vlakna - 1-50. del: Metode merjenja - Preskusi vlažne toplote (ustaljeno stanje) (IEC 60793-1-50:2014)

Ta del standarda IEC 60793 zagotavlja praktično metodo za ocenjevanje delovanja vlaken v nadzorovanem okolju.
Cilj tega standarda je določiti ustreznost podkategorij večrodovnih optičnih vlaken A1a do A1d in enorodnih optičnih vlaken razredov B in C pri prenašanju okoljskih pogojev, kot sta visoka vlažnost in visoka temperatura, ki se lahko pojavita pri dejanski uporabi, shranjevanju in/ali prevozu. Preskus je prvenstveno namenjen omogočanju opazovanja učinkov visoke vlage pri stalni temperaturi v določenem časovnem območju. Ta postopek se izvaja v skladu s preskusom Cab iz standarda IEC 60068-2-78.
OPOMBA: Uporabnost tega preskusa za druge kategorije vlaken se še vedno preučuje.
