INTRODUCTION
Investigations carried out on optical passive devices such as splitters indicate that their failure
mechanisms accelerate with both temperature and humidity. In many of the proposed
applications, particularly in the telecommunications local loop, devices are located in
environments that are subject to both high temperature and potentially high humidity.
Information about the accelerating effect of both temperature and humidity is therefore
essential to ensure that the devices are fit for use.
A system designer has an overall target reliability for a system that can be divided into target
reliabilities that cover all components in the system. The location of a particular component in
a network will influence the target reliability. If a fault in a component does not cause loss of
service, for example if the service switches to a back-up, the target reliability of that
component may not be so stringent. There is however a second consideration, besides
continuity of service provision, and that is the "maintenance burden". This is a measure of the
time spent repairing a network and a service provider needs to ensure that this does not
become economically non-viable. The allocation of target reliability to particular components is
a process that requires experience of the behaviour of the components in particular
environments. Failure of passive optical components appears to be dominated by wear out
mechanisms; therefore, the failure rate is not constant with time. This means that information
is required not only to provide the median time to failure (MTF) but also for the distribution of
the failure rate with time.
A worked example which focuses on temperature and humidity is given but it should be
remembered that other factors such as vibration or the presence of organic solvents may also
reduce the time to failure. The choice of suitable life tests should be based on an
understanding of the conditions in which the devices are deployed, together with knowledge of
the potential failure mechanisms of the device. There may be some failure mechanisms that
are not readily accelerated by typical stress conditions. In establishing standards, this part of
IEC 62005 sets out the minimum requirements, while other standards to be published should
be used to establish whether additional stress testing is required.
A further complication is random failure. These are failures that cannot be attributed to a wear-
out mechanism. Random failures consequently occur at a constant rate in a population of
devices and are often referred to as steady-state failures.
It should be noted that the life test programme defined by this standard has been found to be
applicable to passive devices operating in conditions where the ambient temperature does not
vary by more than ±15 °C from the mean value. It is only applicable to devices that have been
specified according to the appropriate performance specification for the intended service
conditions.
Devices that have dematable components or components that contain parts that rely on
mechanical movement to perform correctly need additional life testing to ensure that the
mechanical operation of the components remains correct throughout the lifetime of the
component. The life test programme defined in this part of IEC 62005 still represents a
significant part of the reliability information required for these components.
Components subjected to wider ranges of temperature variation or to other additional stresses
such as vibration will also require additional life tests.

RELIABILITY OF FIBRE OPTIC INTERCONNECTING DEVICES
AND PASSIVE COMPONENTS –
Part 2: Quantitative assessment of reliability

Temperature and humidity; steady state
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62005 provides a basis for defining reliability tests for passive optical
components. It provides advice on life testing procedures, the calculation of failure rates and
the presentation of results. In addition to such general guidance, a worked example illustrates
the method of calculating the instantaneous failure rate for a device during its service lifetime,
based on accelerated life tests.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this part of IEC 62005. For dated references, subsequent amendments
to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements
based on this part of IEC 62005 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the
most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the
latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.
IEC 62005-4:1999, Reliability of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components –
Part 4: Product screening
3 Guidance on testing for wear out failures
3.1 Failure distribution
Experience has shown that a log-normal distribution of times to failure can often be assumed
to apply for wear-out failures of passive optical devices. That is to say that the log to the base
e of the times to failure will have a normal (Gaussian) distribution. The dispersion parameter,
σ, is the standard deviation of the logarithm to the base e of the times to failure. The log-
normal distribution is the basis of the calculations shown in this standard.
The probability distribution function for a log-normal distribution is given by equation (1).

σ is the standard deviation of ln(t).

62005-2 © IEC:2001 – 13 –
In some cases, a Weibull distribution may provide a better representation of the failure
distribution. The principles outlined in this clause are still valid, but the calculation involved in
determining wear-out failure rates will be different. Where experimental results indicate that
there is more than one significant failure mechanism, the median time to failure and dispersion
should be reported in each case.
Information shall be provided to justify extrapolation models and activation energies used in
reliability predictions. Field feedback shall be collated to support the basis for the accelerated
ageing tests. Where feedback suggests that failure rates are very different to those predicted,
failure analysis shall be carried out to allow the accelerated ageing programme to be modified
appropriately.
Throughout this standard, failure rates are expressed in FITs, where one FIT is defined as one
9
failure in 10 device-hours. This expression of failure rate is of more value in the assessment
of system reliability than the MTF figure. From a system perspective, it is the early failures that
are critical. The MTF refers to a time by which half of the components will have failed, which
on its own is of no value in calculating the reliability of a system.
3.2 Median time to failure (MTF)
Accelerated testing is required to demonstrate the long-term reliability of optical passive
devices. High temperature and humidity life testing is the most widely used method of
providing reliability data in a test of reasonable duration.
For thermal over-stress, the association between lifetime and temperature is derived from the
Arrhenius relationship:
t = R exp (–E /kT)(2)
50 0 A
where
t is the median time to failure (MTF), taken for 50 % of samples to fail;
50
R is the coefficient;
0
–5
k is Boltzmann's constant (8,6 × 10 eV/K);
T is the temperature, in kelvins (K);
E is the activation energy, expressed in electronvolts (eV).
A
There is no universally accepted relationship between lifetime and humidity. Unless there is
evidence to the contrary, the following expression may be used:
2
t = R exp [–ηH](3)
50 0 R
where
η is the humidity activation parameter;
H is the relative humidity, in per cent (%).
R
When the acceleration rates are known, the median time to failure can be calculated at any
operating temperature and humidity. The failure rate as a function of time may then be
calculated provided that the standard deviation of the log-normal distribution is known.

SIST EN 62005-2:2002
62005-2 © IEC:2001 – 15 –
The sample size should be chosen to allow the distribution of wear out lifetimes to be
determined with sufficient accuracy. A minimum of 25 components for each life test condition
is recommended and random sampling techniques shall be used to eliminate any batch
dependency of the result.
The sample size of 25 components in each test condition is regarded as the minimum needed
to obtain meaningful results. The relationship between the confidence level and the sample
size is complex and 25 is a suggestion based on experience gained in this field for typical
devices intended for telecommunications service environments. This number would not be
adequate for extreme reliability devices intended for satellite or submarine applications where
a test sample size of 200 devices would be more appropriate. The confidence level is affected
not only by sample size but also by factors such as the duration of the test, the fit of the
extrapolation to failure and the intended service life of the devices.
It is possible that two factors that accelerate ageing, when applied together, may result in a
different lifetime to that which would be expected from calculations based on each parameter
alone. This can arise through interactions between the different degradation mechanisms. In
the example given above, it may be found that η is not constant with respect to T. In this
situation, a greater number of test conditions must be chosen in order to gain a full
understanding of the interaction.
It is important that the mechanism of failure is understood. IEC 62005-3 lists the typical modes
of failure for a range of passive optical devices and states the mechanism of failure that is
usually associated with the observed mode of failure. It also gives details of tests that may be
used to induce these types of failure. This information is of value in designing experiments that
allow investigation of failure mechanisms. When the key failure mechanisms are understood, a
more restricted range of tests may be chosen for extended life testing. In this standard, it has
been assumed that the dominant failure mechanisms have been identified and that these have
been observed to be accelerated by high temperature and high humidity.
4 Life test matrix
Table 1 shows the relationship between relative humidity and absolute humidity as a function
of temperature. The choice of test conditions will be influenced by knowledge of whether
relative or absolute humidity is the failure-accelerating factor. Test conditions shall be chosen
so that at least two conditions have humidity as a constant and at least two conditions have
temperature as a constant. This will require a minimum of three conditions.
It should be noted that table 1 is not intended to show all possible temperature and humidity
combinations that may be used for testing. Other values of temperature and humidity may be
chosen. The following equation may be used to calculate values of relative humidity at different
temperature and absolute humidity levels:

where
H is the relative humidity, in per cent (%);
R
3
H is the absolute humidity, in grams per cubic metre (g/m );
A
T is the temperature, in degrees Celsius (°C).
The constants 7,5, 237,3 and 0,785 71 are derived from the "Magnus formula" giving
saturation vapour pressure over liquid water. Different constants apply over ice.
It will normally be necessary to choose more than three test conditions to obtain an accurate
basis for a lifetime acceleration model. The use of three test conditions, as highlighted in the
test matrix, is only acceptable if the acceleration of the failure rate follows the relationships to
temperature and humidity that are described in clause 5.
If the relationship does not fit this model, it is possible that failure mechanisms be introduced
which are not dominant at the normal operation conditions of the device. The only solution is to
use lower test temperatures but this inevitably means that the test duration will be much
longer. It may be necessary to avoid using a temperature that is higher than the maximum
permitted temperature for the fibre or cable. However, higher temperatures can be used,
provided that tests are carried out to determine the effect on the cable to check that this does
not influence the result.

5 Worked example
The values derived in this worked example are for illustration only. Experience has shown for
example, that wide variation between the activation energies of different failure mechanisms is
common. Values of between 0,4 eV and 1,2 eV have been seen for passive device failure
mechanisms and values outside this range are possible.
This worked example demonstrates how a matrix of tests can be used to determine the
acceleration factors resulting from temperature and relative humidity. Using these factors, the
example shows how failure rate, as a function of time, can be calculated at any defined service
condition. Throughout this worked example, it is assumed that there is just one wear-out failure
mechanism and that it can be modelled with a log-normal failure probability distribution.
5.1 Test condition matrix
The matrix of steady-state tests shown in table 2 serves as an example. The first three tests
investigate the effect of relative humidity at constant temperature while the last three
investigate the effect of temperature at constant relative humidity.
