FOTP-80 IEC-60793-1-44 Optical Fibers – Part 1-44: Measurement Methods and Test Procedures – Cut-off Wavelength

This part of IEC 60793 establishes uniform requirements for
measuring the cut-off wavelength of single-mode optical fibre,
thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for
commercial purposes.
This standard provides methods for measuring the cut-off
wavelength of cable, fibre, and jumper cable.
Two methods exist for measuring cable cut-off wavelength, ?
cc:
– method A: using uncabled fibre;
– method B: using cabled fibre.
There is only one method for measuring fibre cut-off wavelength,
? c.
There is only one method for measuring jumper cable fibre
cut-off wavelength, ? cj.
The test method in this standard describes procedures for
determining the cut-off wavelength of a sample fibre in either an
uncabled condition (? c) or in a cable (? cc)
or as a jumper cable (? cj). Three default
configurations are given here: any different configuration will be
given in a detail specification. This method applies to all B fibre
types.
All methods require a reference measurement. There are two
reference-scan techniques, either or both of which may be used with
all methods:
– bend-reference technique;
– multimode-reference technique.
