Scope
The intent of this test procedure is to measure the cladding (outside) diameter of an optical fiber drawing process prior to the application of the protective buffer coating(s). It is also used off-line as a quality inspection method. In this application, it is normally used instead of FOTP-45. Control of the cladding diameter is required to assure the performance of the fiber in cabling, connectorization and splicing. Uniformity of the cladding diameter along the length is also required.
