Overview

EN 61300-2-55:2017 (identical to IEC 61300-2-55:2017) defines a basic, repeatable test procedure to measure the mounting strength of an optical adaptor or receptacle to a fixture. The standard is part of the IEC 61300 series on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components and specifies how to apply axial loads, record results and assess whether mounted adaptors or receptacles remain mechanically secure after testing.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Test procedure to evaluate the mechanical strength of an adaptor/receptacle mounted to a fixture.
• Loading methods: Two defined methods for applying axial load:
  • Method A - load applied via a holding fixture attached to the DUT (device under test).
  • Method B - load applied directly to the DUT via the force gauge.
• Apparatus and instruments:
  • Force generator capable of smoothly applying force at a specified rate.
  • Force gauge with specified uncertainty to measure axial force.
  • Holding fixture (if Method A) designed not to introduce compressive deformation.
  • Fixtures and timers as required by the procedure.
• Test sequence: Includes pre-conditioning, initial visual/examination measurements, mounting the DUT, conditioning under load, recovery, and final examination/measurement.
• Severity and reporting: The standard provides recommended severity values (see Table 1) and requires details to be specified for reproducible testing.
• Fixture dimensions: Annex A includes fixture cut-out information and recommended dimensions for common adaptors (SC, LC, MPO, etc.).

Applications and who uses it

EN 61300-2-55:2017 is used to verify the mechanical integrity of adaptor mounting in environments where connector stability is critical. Typical users:

• Manufacturers of fibre optic adaptors, receptacles and panels - for product validation and design verification.
• Independent test laboratories - to perform standardized mechanical qualification and conformance testing.
• Quality and reliability engineers - to create acceptance criteria for incoming parts or finished assemblies.
• Systems integrators and datacentre operators - to ensure patch panels, panels and front-plate adaptors meet mechanical retention requirements.
• Procurement and compliance teams - to reference in specifications and supplier contracts.

Practical uses include product qualification, production verification, acceptance testing of mounted adaptors in racks or faceplates, and failure analysis after mechanical incidents.

Related standards

• IEC/EN 61300-1 - General and guidance for basic test and measurement procedures.
• IEC/EN 61300-3-1 - Visual examination procedures referenced for initial and final examinations.
• IEC 61753-1 - Listed in the publication notes (harmonized as EN 61753-1) - relevant for performance specifications and environmental grades.

Keywords: EN 61300-2-55:2017, mounting strength of an optical adaptor, fibre optic interconnecting devices, optical adaptor mounting strength test, adaptor receptacle strength.

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
interest
