- Scope
- Enclosures comprise a broad component family that functions to protect, secure and store passive fibre optic components (such as splices or connectors) or other non-interconnecting devices (such as optical branching devices). They are installed at either indoor or outdoor locations, and provide access to the optical path of one or more cabled optical fibres. They also generally provide for the orderly management, routing, and storage of optical fibres (such as splice organizers or connector mounting plates). Configuration definitions may specify integrated functions, or permit grouped combinations of compatible independent sub-units. Specific classification requirements vary, and may or may not include isolation from environmental hazards (such as water ingress), structure codes (such as fire safety), or other appropriate considerations. Enclosures are not intended to provide the primary packaging or structure for uncabled optical fibre splices (such as a rigid mechanical splice shell, or a fusion splice protection sleeve). Specification for those devices is defined in IEC 61073-1. It is also intended that enclosures specified under this standard are not sufficiently characterized for continuous brine or deep-water submersion. Examples of this are oceanic or lake-crossing applications. Cables, closures and installation methods suited to this use are highly specialized and are not within the scope of this standard or supporting test procedures. Due to the diverse variety of subordinate specifications possible under this generic specification, the sectional specification level has been retained (see 2.2.1). This format will aid definition clarity for individual component sub-families and requirements, and provide relevant associated blank detail specifications. This standard establishes uniform requirements for the following: - fibre optic enclosure generic requirements; - qualification approval and quality assessment procedures.
