Is the test set-up for Simplex only testing? NO – Use the 3-Test Cord Method of Reference Setting (Eg SC on Tester and LC on Link) YES – Use either 3-Test Cord Method or 1-Test Cord Method of Reference Setting (Eg SC on tester and SC on both ends of Link) OF Testing ADC KRONE Requirements V7_1&3T Dr2Page of 12 Use of Mandrels or Coils (for both & 1-Test Cord Methods) For MMF, the LSPM Tester must have the correct Coupling Power Ratio for the cable under test Alternatively, this can be achieved by using a Mandrel Wrap on the Launch Cord for mode stripping during Reference Setting and Testing For a mm Launch Cord, turns on 17 mm Ø for 62.5 µm (OM1) turns on 22 mm Ø for 50 µm (OM2 and OM3) For SMF, the LSPM launch cord shall have at least x turns of 40±5 mm diameter, air-coiled or on a mandrel, for stripping light out of the cladding and more consistent readings 10 Test Cords and Field Calibration Cords (for both & 1-Test Cord Methods) All Test Cords & Field Calibration cords shall be Qualified (See Item 17 for procedure) Launch and Tail Cords for MMF & SMF LSPM testing shall be 1m to 5m each and shall have a Reference Connector at one end Field Calibration Cord shall not exceed 2m in length and shall have Reference Connectors at both ends Reference Connectors shall be the same type of connectors as the cabling to be tested Mated Reference Connectors shall have an attenuation of ≤ 0.10 dB for MMF, and ≤ 0.20 dB for SMF 11 Field Calibration Cord and Adaptor Removal (for 3-Test Cord Method) For both MMF and SMF cabling, after the 3-Test Cord Reference Setting has been done, the central Field Calibration Cord shall be removed and the cabling under test connected For a Link, the x adaptors are removed with the field calibration cord [For a Channel, the x adaptors remain on the launch and tail cords.] 12 Acceptance criteria is; 13 14 Continuity & Polarity shall be correct, and Length shall be recorded, and Propogation Delay shall be recorded, and Optical Attenuation (Power Loss) test result shall be less than the Power Loss Budget at both the nominated wavelengths in both directions for 1/10GBE installations (Item 16) Power Loss Budget (PLB) in dB is the sum of the maximum component insertion loss allowed under ISO/IEC 11801 Table 4, AS/NZS 3080, Cl 9.4 Table 26, and Cl 10.3 Table 46 These requirements are set out in Item 14 Component Power Loss Component and Wavelength Mated Ref to Non-Ref Connector at 850 & 1300 nm at 1310 & 1550 nm ISO/IEC 11801 Insertion Loss Maximum 1/2 1/2 See Note MMF 0.30 dB SMF 0.50 dB Splice at 850 & 1300 nm and at 1310 & 1550 nm 0.30 dB x Mated Connection i.e one Ref/Non-Ref Connection MMF at 850 nm at 1300 nm 3.50 dB/km 1.50 dB/km at 1310 & 1550 nm 1.00 dB/km SMF Reference Connector Connector on installed cabling Connector device (general) Note Insertion Loss Mated Reference to Reference Connector is 0.10 dB MMF and 0.20 dB SMF Mated Reference to Non-Reference Connector is 0.30 dB MMF and 0.50 dB SMF Mated Non-Reference to Non-Reference Connector is 0.75 dB MMF and SMF { Ref ISO/IEC 14763-3 Tables & 4} OF Testing ADC KRONE Requirements V7_1&3T Dr2Page of 12 FD 1m Splice 15 Example A fibre link consists of 198m OM3, 50/125 µm cable In addition, there is a 1m pigtail splice inside the FOBOT at each end What is the Power Loss Budget? 198m 1m Splice At Launch Cord & Tail Cord ER Item 15 Example PLB850 PLB850 PLB850 = x Ref/Non-Ref Connectors matings + x splices + 0.2 km x MMF = x 0.30 + x 0.30 + 0.2 x 3.50 = 1.90 dB maximum @ 850 nm PLB1300 PLB1300 PLB1300 = x Ref/Non-Ref Connector matings + x splice + 0.2km x MMF = x 0.30 + x 0.30 + 0.2 x 1.50 = 1.50 dB maximum @ 1300 nm Therefore, the tester readings must be less than the maximum Power Loss Budget of; PLB850 PLB1300 16 = 1.90 dB = 1.50 dB There must always be a power loss If there is a power gain, testers need a new Reference Setting See Item 19 Test Wavelength and Direction Horizontal & Backbone Cabling, Within The Same Building Where the MMF and SMF Link is to be used for 1/10GBE or is a channel or has unknown connectors, the test shall be done at: Both wavelengths, in x direction using LSPM Launch & Tail Cords The single reported Test Result at each wavelength shall be the single highest reading from { Ref ISO/IEC 14763-3 Cl 9.1.1.3} either direction, recorded to at least decimal places (Not the lowest reading, and not an average reading of both directions for LSPM testing) Some installers choose to use only OTDR testing and not LSPM testing If this is done, ADC KRONE will only accept the results if the average highest OTDR reading from both directions is calculated and written into an electronic record of results along with the PLB For MMF and SMF Links that have known connectors and are not for 1/10GBE, test at; Both wavelengths, in just x direction using LSPM Launch & Tail Cords Inter-building Campus Cabling Use LSPM x wavelengths, both in x directions, AND ALSO Use OTDR For Links less than 300m, It is not an ADC KRONE requirement For Links over 300m long, It is an ADC KRONE requirement x wavelengths, both in x directions, using OTDR launch and tail cords For OTDR tests, the single reported Test Result at each wavelength shall be the average of the highest readings from both directions {Ref ISO/IEC 14763-3 Cl 9.1.2.4} [Because the scattering coefficients are usually different between launch cord, cable under test, and tail cord, the test results will be different when tested in different directions Therefore the readings are to be averaged.] Some installers choose to use only OTDR testing and not LSPM testing If this is done, ADC KRONE will only accept the results if the average highest reading from both directions is calculated and written into an electronic record of results along with the PLB Launch & Tail Cord Lengths LSPM launch & tail cords are each OTDR launch & tail cords are typically → Launch cord Tail cord OF Testing ADC KRONE Requirements V7_1&3T Dr2Page of 12 1–5m 100 m 50 m 17 Qualification of Launch Cord (Step 1) Launch & Tail Cords shall have Reference Connectors one end, tester connectors other end Field Calibration Cords shall have Reference Connectors on both ends (See Item 10) For MMF, apply a Mandrel Wrap in the Launch Cord L1, For SMF, apply coils in the Launch Cord L1 turns on 17 mm Ø for 62.5 µm turns on 22 mm Ø for 50 µm at least x turns of 40±5mm diameter air-coiled or on a mandrel Clean both the test cord connector ends Connect L1 at the light source Use an adaptor to suit the cord at the power meter and connect The adaptor is not included in the test results Place the test cord in such a way as to minimise movement during testing Turn on the light source and power meter and let them stabilise for several minutes Most meters allow you to set this reading to “0.00 dB” The LSPM is now referenced to “Zero” L1 Light Source 18 DO NOT disconnect L1 from the light source If disconnection occurs, repeat Step Use an adaptor to suit the cord Power Meter Qualification of Tail Cord or Field Calibration Cord (Step 2) Disconnect L1 from the Power Meter Clean the test cord connector ends and apply a Reference Adaptor (eg SMF adaptor) at the centre connection Insert Tail Cord T1 This second cord is acceptable if the power loss is less than 0.10 dB for MMF and 0.20 dB for SMF {Ref ISO/IEC 14763-3 Cl D.2.} Loss Reference Connector L1 Light Source Reference Connector Use an adaptor to suit the cord T1 Power Meter ≤ 0.10 dB for MMF ≤ 0.20 dB for SMF DO NOT turn off the light source or power meter between measurements If the reading is greater than 0.10 dB or 0.20 dB for MMF or SMF, repeat Step after cleaning the connectors, or use another test cord Repeat the Step qualification process on as many test cords as is necessary to undertake the LSPM testing If duplex testing is done with the 3-Test Cord Method, the required cords are;
