IEC 61753-1-3:2009 PDF

Scope: This part of IEC 61753 defines the minimum initial performance@ test and measurement requirements and severities which a connector or cable assembly with single-mode fibres needs to satisfy in order to be categorized as meeting IEC Category I (industrial environment). Category I is an additional environmental category to C@ U@ O and E already described in IEC 61753-1. Category I is based on the MICE Table described in ISO/IEC 24702. The performance tests evaluate the product for two basic acceptance criteria: mechanical integrity and optical transmission requirements@ by simulating the effects of exposure to the environment in which it will be installed@ simulating installation and intervention conditions@ and evaluating specified features of the product. The defined performance test procedures simulate the situation in a mated condition under use in an industrial environment. It is not the intention to simulate the situation: when being mated or demated; during the assembling of the connector; during transportation and storage of the connector. Reliability tests for life time expectations are not covered by this standard.
