Reliability of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Part 2: Quantitative assessment of reliability based on accelerated ageing tests; Temperature and humidity; Steady state
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.
