Overview

EN IEC 61300-3-54:2019 (CLC adoption of IEC 61300-3-54:2019) specifies a test method to measure the angular misalignment between the ferrule bore axis and the outside-diameter datum axis of cylindrical ferrules used in fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. The standard defines the measurement principle (image-based pin-gauge deviation during rotation), required apparatus and key uncertainty contributors to ensure repeatable, traceable results.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and definition
  • Measures the angle θ between the ferrule outside-diameter datum axis (ferrule axis) and the ferrule bore axis (centre axis of the largest inscribed cylinder).
• Measurement principle
  • A pin gauge fitted into the ferrule bore is imaged while the ferrule is rotated about its OD datum axis; angular misalignment is determined from the pin tip image deviation.
• Apparatus (example)
  • Pin gauge - matched to bore diameter and compliant with ISO 1938-1.
  • Ferrule holder - precise V-groove or equivalent OD datum.
  • Microscope with video camera and display for imaging the pin tip.
  • Precision alignment stage and computer for data capture/analysis.
• Measurement uncertainty
  • Annex A describes major uncertainty sources and how they contribute: precision stage accuracy, misalignment between ferrule holder and camera, image resolution (pixels), ferrule bore eccentricity and clearance between bore and pin gauge.
• Documentation
  • Details to be specified include apparatus, pin gauge dimensions, rotation method and uncertainty assessment.

Applications and users

• Who uses it
  • Connector and ferrule manufacturers, quality control and metrology laboratories, test engineers, and R&D teams developing fibre-optic connectors and assemblies.
• Practical value
  • Provides a standardized, reproducible method to quantify ferrule bore to ferrule OD angular errors that can affect connector alignment and optical performance.
  • Useful for incoming inspection, process control, product qualification and supplier acceptance testing.
• Industry relevance
  • Applies to design verification and production control in telecom, datacom, and other markets relying on precision fibre optic connectors.

Related standards

• IEC 61300 series - Basic test and measurement procedures for fibre optic interconnecting devices.
• Normative reference: ISO 1938-1 (pin gauge specification).
• Cross-references noted in the document: IEC 61300-3-26, IEC 61755-3-1, IEC 61755-3-2 (harmonized standards listed in the bibliography).

Keywords: ferrule bore, angular misalignment, ferrule bore axis, ferrule axis, cylindrical ferrules, pin gauge, measurement uncertainty.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corr
