Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 3-56: Examinations and measurements -Attenuation and return loss of random mated single- mode weakly coupled 4-core rectangular ferrule multi-fibre connector
Abstract
The purpose of this part of IEC 61300 is to describe the procedure required to measure the statistical distribution and mean attenuation for random mated multi-core fibre (MCF) optical connectors with physical contact (PC) and angled physical contact (APC) polished multi-fibre rectangular ferrules as defined in the IEC 61754 (all parts). This measurement method is applicable to cable assemblies using weakly coupled MCF. In this method, MCF is defined as having four cores in the cladding. These cores are single-mode and the arrangement of cores is square.
