Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 1: General and guidance

This part of IEC 61300 provides general information and guidance for the basic test and measurement procedures defined in the IEC 61300-2 series and IEC 61300-3 series for interconnecting devices, passive components, mechanical splices, fusion splice protectors, fibre management systems and protective housings. This standard is used in combination with the relevant specification which defines 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 takes precedence.

IEC 61300-1:2022 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61300-1:2022 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 61300-1:2022 donne des informations d'ordre général et des recommandations concernant les procédures fondamentales d’essai et de mesure définies dans l'IEC 61300-2 (toutes les parties) et l'IEC 61300-3 (toutes les parties) et applicables aux dispositifs d'interconnexion, aux composants passifs, aux épissures mécaniques, aux protecteurs d'épissures par fusion, aux systèmes de gestion des fibres et aux boîtiers de protection. Le présent document est utilisé avec la spécification applicable qui définit les essais à réaliser, le degré de sévérité exigé pour chacun d’eux, l'ordre dans lequel ils sont effectués, le cas échéant, et les limites des performances admissibles. Si le présent document et la spécification applicable sont en contradiction, c’est cette dernière qui prévaut. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - ajout d'informations sur les incertitudes de mesure en 4.2.1; - modification des exigences pour la variation d'affaiblissement en 4.2.2; - ajout des conditions d’injection en multimodal des fibres autres que A1-OM2, A1-OM3, - A1-OM4, A1-OM5 et A3e en 10.4; - ajout des conditions d’injection en multimodal du guide d'onde plan en 10.6; - séparation de l'Annexe A pour l’EF et de l'Annexe B pour l’EAF; - correction d'erreurs dans les définitions du flux inscrit et du flux angulaire inscrit.

Optični spojni elementi in pasivne komponente - Osnovni preskusni in merilni postopki - 1. del: Splošno in smernice (IEC 61300-1:2022)

Ta del standarda IEC 61300 podaja splošne informacije in smernice za postopke osnovnega preskušanja in merjenja, opredeljene v skupinah standardov IEC 61300-2 in IEC 61300-3, za spojne elemente, pasivne komponente, mehanske spojnice, enorodne ščitnike spojev, sisteme za upravljanje z optičnimi vlakni in zaščitna ohišja.
Ta standard se uporablja v kombinaciji z ustrezno specifikacijo, ki opredeljuje preskuse, ki jih je treba uporabiti, zahtevano stopnjo za vsakega od njih, njihovo zaporedje, če je pomembno, in dovoljene mejne vrednosti učinkovitosti. V primeru neskladij med tem osnovnim standardom in ustrezno specifikacijo ima prednost specifikacija.
