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 61300-2-9 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1995, and constitutes a
technical revision. Specific technical changes from the previous edition are to reconsider the
apparatus, procedure and severity.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
86B/3068/FDIS 86B/3100/RVD

3 General description
A device under test (DUT) is mounted on the table of the shock-testing machine and is
subjected to half-sinusoidal shock pulses. The DUT is exposed to two or three shock pulses
applied in each direction of three mutually perpendicular axes. The test is conducted in
accordance with IEC 60068-2-27.
4 Apparatus
4.1 Shock machine
The shock machine may be of the free fall, resilient rebound, nonresilient, hydraulic,
compressed gas or other activating types. A shock testing machine is capable of generating a
half-sinusoidal excitation. The shock machine shall be capable of generating a calibrated
acceleration .

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
– 6 – 61300-2-9 © IEC:2010
4.2 Mounting fixture
A suitable DUT mounting fixture capable of transmitting the half sinusoidal shock pulse
conditions shall be specified. The DUT shall be prepared and mounted with accessories as
specified in the relevant specification and fastened to the table of the shock testing machine.
4.3 Measuring equipment
Unless otherwise specified, measuring equipment specified in IEC 61300-3-3 shall be
connected to the DUT for monitoring the optical performances during the test; if required, the
transient loss measuring equipment specified in IEC 61300-3-28 shall be used to detect fast
variation of attenuation.
NOTE The monitoring equipment specified in IEC 61300-3-3 has some limitations to respond to fast transitory
changes in attenuation; where detection of transient losses with duration less than a half second is required the
measuring equipment specified in IEC 61300-3-28 should be used.
5 Procedure
5.1 Preparation of DUT
Prepare the DUT according to the manufacturer´s instructions or as specified in the relevant
specification.
5.2 Pre-conditioning
Pre-condition the DUT for 2h at the standard test conditions specified in IEC 61300-1 unless
otherwise specified in the relevant specification.
5.3 Initial measurements
Complete initial examinations and measurements of the DUT as required by the relevant
specification.
5.4 Conditioning
The DUT shall be mounted rigidly to the fixture in a manner that simulates normal mounting as
closely as possible. A minimum of 200 mm of optical fibre/cable shall be unsupported on both
ends of the DUT and be attached free of tension to the table of a shock testing machine.
Conduct the procedure in accordance with IEC 60068-2-27, test Ea. Shocks shall be applied to
the DUT in each direction of three mutually perpendicular axes, that is a total of 12 or 18
shocks.
The attenuation and/or return loss of the DUT shall be monitored during the test as described
in IEC 61300-3-3 unless otherwise specified in the relevant specification. Any change in optical
performance shall be within the limits given in the relevant specification.
5.5 Recovery
