Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 2-33: Tests - Assembly and disassembly of fibre optic mechanical splices@ fibre management systems and closures
This part of the IEC 61300 series@ evaluates the assembly and reassembly of a fibre optic mechanical splice@ a fibre management system or a closure for a specified number of times. The test procedures simulate the following conditions which may be encountered during the component's service lifetime: -the ability of an optical mechanical splice to be re-installed after disassembly; -the ability to re-enter fibre management systems and closures@ by accessing fibres and optical components and making reconfigurations without disturbing transmission in adjacent fibre circuits; -verification of the sealing performance after frequent opening and closing of enclosures.
