Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 3-35: Examinations and measurements - Fibre optic connector endface visual and automated inspection

IEC 61300-3-35:2009(E) describes methods for quantitatively assessing the endface quality of a polished fibre optic connector. The information is intended for use with other standards which set requirements for allowable surface defects such as scratches, pits and debris which may affect optical performance. In general, the methods described in this standard apply to 125 m cladding fibres contained within a ferrule and intended for use with sources of 2 W of input power. This standard replaces IEC/PAS 61300-3-35 which was published in 2002.

La CEI 61300-3-35:2009 décrit les méthodes prévues pour évaluer quantitativement la qualité de l'extrémité d'un connecteur à fibres optiques polies. Les informations sont destinées à être utilisées avec d'autres normes qui établissent les exigences pour les défauts en surface admissibles, tels que les éraflures, les piqûres et les débris qui peuvent affecter la performance optique. En général, les méthodes décrites dans la présente norme s'appliquent aux fibres à gaine de 125 ohmm contenues dans une férule et destinées à être utilisées avec des sources ≤2 W de puissance d'entrée. Toutefois, des parties sont applicables aux connecteurs exempts de férules et autres types de fibres. Ces parties sont identifiées s'il y lieu.

Ta del IEC 61300 opisuje metode za kvantitativno ocenjevanje kvalitete čela poliranega optičnega konektorja. Podatki so namenjeni za uporabo z drugimi standardi, ki postavljajo zahteve za dopustne površinske pomanjkljivosti kot so praske, jamice in smeti, ki lahko vplivajo na optično delovanje. V splošnem, metode opisane v tem standardu veljajo za 125 μm obložena vlakna, zaprta v ferulo in namenjena za uporabo z viri ≤2 W vhodne moči. Vendar deli veljajo za ne-ferule konektorje in druge vrste vlaken. Ti deli so opredeljeni po potrebi.

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 corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61300-3-35 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This standard replaces IEC/PAS 61300-3-35 which was published in 2002.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of IEC 61300 series, published under the general title, Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components – Basic test and measurement procedures
can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the
maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http://webstore.iec.ch” in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this standard may be issued at a later date.
