Dynamic modules - Part 3-3: Performance specification templates - Wavelength selective switches (IEC 62343-3-3:2020)

IEC 62343-3-3:2020 is available as IEC 62343-3-3:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 62343-3-3:2020 provides a performance specification template for wavelength selective switches. The object is to provide a framework for the preparation of detail specifications on the performance of wavelength selective switches. Additional specification parameters are often included for detailed product specifications or performance specifications if necessary. However, specification parameters specified in this document are not removed from the detail product specifications or performance specifications. The technical information regarding wavelength selective switches and their applications in DWDM systems with single-mode fibres are described in IEC TR 62343-6-4. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- modification of the normative references;
- modification of the terms and definitions.

IEC 62343-3-3:2020 présente un modèle de spécification de performance pour les commutateurs sélectifs en longueur d’onde. Il est destiné à fournir un cadre pour l'établissement de spécifications particulières sur les performances des commutateurs sélectifs en longueur d’onde. Des paramètres de spécification supplémentaires sont souvent inclus pour les spécifications détaillées de produit ou les spécifications de performances, si nécessaire. Toutefois, les paramètres de spécification stipulés dans le présent document ne sont pas retirés des spécifications particulières de produit ou de performances. Les informations techniques concernant les commutateurs sélectifs en longueur d'onde et leurs applications dans des systèmes DWDM avec fibres unimodales sont décrites dans l'IEC TR 62343-6-4. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 2014. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- modifications des références normatives;
- modification des termes et définitions.

Overview

EN IEC 62343-3-3:2020 (IEC 62343-3-3:2020) is a performance specification template for wavelength selective switches (WSS) within the Dynamic Modules series. Published as a second edition and available as an RLV (Redline) version, this document provides a structured framework for preparing detailed product and performance specifications for 1×N (and reversible N×1) WSS used in DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) systems with single-mode fibres. It replaces the 2014 edition and includes normative reference and terminology updates.

Key topics and requirements

EN IEC 62343-3-3:2020 focuses on the specification and test-reporting framework rather than prescribing fixed performance numbers. Major technical topics and requirement areas covered or referenced include:

• Performance specification template - structure for test reports and required specification fields (dimensions, sample size, test details).
• Test and measurement topics (normative references include relevant IEC test methods):
  • Switching time and timing behaviour (IEC 61300-3-21).
  • Spectral transfer characteristics (DWDM device spectral response) (IEC 61300-3-29).
  • Polarization dependent loss (PDL) (IEC 61300-3-2) and polarization mode dispersion (IEC 61300-3-32).
  • Return loss and optical interface performance (IEC 61300-3-6).
  • Group delay / chromatic dispersion / phase ripple (IEC 61300-3-38).
  • Out-of-band insertion loss and high optical power handling (IEC 61290-7-1, IEC 61300-2-14).
  • Repeatability / attenuation setting error for variable elements (IEC 61300-3-14).
  • Dynamic crosstalk test references (IEC 62343-5-2).
• Documentation expectations - test report formats, bibliography and cross-references to other IEC/ITU standards.

Applications and users

This standard is intended for professionals involved with optical transport and ROADM systems, including:

• WSS manufacturers preparing product datasheets and internal performance specs.
• Telecom equipment vendors and system integrators specifying components for DWDM networks.
• Test laboratories and QA teams performing compliance or acceptance testing.
• Network operators / procurement teams who need a consistent template for evaluating and comparing WSS products.
• Standards authors and technical writers creating vendor-neutral specifications.

EN IEC 62343-3-3 supports interoperability and procurement clarity by standardizing how WSS performance is described and tested.

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 62343-3-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 86C: Fibre optic
systems and active devices, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) modification of the normative references;
b) modification of the terms and definitions.
