Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 3-35: Examinations and measurements - Visual inspection of fibre optic connectors and fibre-stub transceivers

IEC 61300-3-35:2015 is available as IEC 61300-3-35:2015 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 61300-3-35:2015 describes methods for quantitatively assessing the end face quality of a polished fibre optic connector or of a fibre optic transceiver using a fibre-stub type interface. Sub-surface cracks and fractures are not considered in this standard. In general, the methods described in this standard apply to 125 μ cladding fibres contained within a ferrule and intended for use with sources of ≤ 2 W of input power. However, portions are applicable to non-ferruled connectors and other fibre types. Those portions are identified where appropriate. It is not the intention of this standard that the size of scratches should be measured, the dimensions and requirements are selected such that they can be estimated. There is no need to measure for example if a scratch is 2,3 μm wide. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - modification to the title; - addition of some terms and definitions; - reconsideration of the specific values of Tables 1 to 4 to reflect the current market situation; - addition of visual requirements for single-mode transceivers using a fibre-stub interface in Table 3; - addition of a sentence in 4.1 concerning the susceptibility of the methods to system variability. Keywords: end face quality of a polished fibre optic connector, fibre optic transceiver using a fibre-stub type interface

L'IEC 61300-3-35:2015 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61300-3-35:2015 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente. L'IEC 61300-3-35:2015 décrit des méthodes pour évaluer quantitativement la qualité de l'extrémité d'un connecteur à fibres optiques polies ou d'un émetteur-récepteur à fibres optiques utilisant une interface de type à embase fibrée. Les craquelures et fractures internes ne sont pas traitées dans la présente norme. En général, les méthodes décrites dans la présente norme s'appliquent aux fibres à gaine de 125 μ contenues dans une férule et destinées à être utilisées avec des sources de puissance d'entrée ≤ 2 W. Toutefois, des parties sont applicables aux connecteurs exempts de férules et autres types de fibres. Ces parties sont identifiées s'il y lieu. La présente norme n'a pas pour objet de préconiser le mesurage de la taille des éraflures; les dimensions et les exigences sont choisies de telle sorte à pouvoir les estimer. Un mesurage n'est pas nécessaire dans le cas où, par exemple, la largeur de l'éraflure est égale à 2,3 μ. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2009. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - modification du titre; - ajout de termes et définitions; - révision des valeurs spécifiques des Tableaux 1 à 4 en vue de refléter les réalités actuelles du marché; - ajout dans le Tableau 3 des exigences visuelles relatives aux émetteurs-récepteurs unimodaux utilisant une interface à embase fibrée; - ajout d'une phrase en 4.1 précisant que les méthodes sont sujettes à une variabilité du système. Mots clés: qualité de l'extrémité d'un connecteur à fibres optiques polies, d'un émetteur-récepteur à fibres optiques utilisant une interface de type à embase fibrée

Optični spojni elementi in pasivne komponente - Osnovni preskusni in merilni postopki - 3-35. del: Preiskave in meritve - Vizualno pregledovanje optičnih konektorjev in sprejemnikov-oddajnikov z vlakenskimi tulkami (IEC 61300-3-35:2015)

Ta del standarda IEC 61300 opisuje metode za kvantitativno ocenjevanje končne kakovosti poliranega optičnega konektorja ali optičnega sprejemnika-oddajnika z uporabo vmesnika z vlakenskimi tulkami. Podpovršinske razpoke v tem standardu niso zajete. Metode, opisane v tem standardu, se v splošnem uporabljajo za vlakna z oblogo 125 μm, ki so znotraj tulke in so namenjena za uporabo z viri vhodne moči ≤ 2 W. Deloma se uporabljajo tudi za konektorje brez tulke in druge vrste vlaken. To je ustrezno opredeljeno. Namen tega standarda ni natančna meritev velikosti prask, temveč izbira dimenzij in zahtev, ki omogočajo njihovo oceno. Meritev praske s širino 2,3 μm na primer ni potrebna.

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 c
