PROCEDURES – Part 2-2: Tests – Mating durability Scope The purpose of this part of IEC 61300 is to evaluate the effects of a number of successive cycles of engagement and separation of fibre optic connectors or other interconnecting devices on optical performance and mechanical degradation of the component under normal usage conditions Normative references The following referenced documents are

devices under test (DUT) are subjected to a number of successive cycles of engagement and separation If more than one coupling mechanism is involved, each cycle of engagement shall be conducted with all other mechanisms properly engaged Apparatus The apparatus shall include the following elements: 4.1 Fixturing The device should be tested under normal conditions of use Where appropriate, suitable clamps, jaws or other means may be used to hold the mating parts of the device in proper alignment during the test 4.2 Force applicator Use a means of applying the force or torque to engage and separate the specimen Unless otherwise stated, the force to engage the device shall be applied manually Where required, a means of applying the engagement force or torque shall be specified BS EN

performance during the test Procedure 5.1 Initial inspection Complete initial examinations and measurements of the specimen as specified in the relevant specification 5.2 Cycling Unless otherwise specified in the relevant specification, a cycle shall consist of one normal full engagement and separation of the coupling mechanism to be evaluated The minimum time between each engagement shall be s When the specimen involves more than one coupling mechanism, the cycles shall be conducted with all mechanisms properly engaged The mating shall be accomplished according to the manufacturer’s instructions In the case of a plug-adapter-plug configuration, only one plug is subjected to successive engagement and separations cycles, see Figures and m o c w To light source Plug A 网 享 分 准 标 b w

IEC:2008 5.3.2 –7– Measurement condition A Measurements are recorded after every mating If the value of attenuation or return loss exceeds the specified limit, the measurement should be recorded The connector may then be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the test resumed The cleaning of the connector shall be recorded The number of cleaning operations shall be limited to 20 (4 % of matings) 5.3.3 Measurement condition B The sample population is divided as equally as possible into three specimen groups Each group is mounted in a holding fixture (e.g adapter panel) at the following distances from the floor: 0,9 m, 1,4 m and 1,8 m For each connector pair, perform an initial cleaning and record baseline optical measurements (e.g attenuation, return loss) For each connector pair, perform optical measurements on th th every 25 mating Clean only the cycled connector prior to every 25 mating Clean both th connectors prior to every 50 mating The following sequence is an example: 0-1 1-1 1-2 2-1 2-2 … 24-1 24-2 24-3 25-1 25-2 25-3 … 49-1 49-2 49-3 50-1 50-2 50-3 … 74-1 74-2 74-3 75-1 75-2 75-3 … 199-1 199-2 199-3 200-1 200-2 200-3 Cleaning (both sides)
