19、4 61746-2 IEC:2010(E) INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION _ CALIBRATION OF OPTICAL TIME-DOMAIN REFLECTOMETERS (OTDR) Part 2: OTDR for multimode fibres FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electro

20、technical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specificat

21、ions, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International

22、, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal dec

23、isions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for inte

24、rnational use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In o

25、rder to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be c

26、learly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certificatio

27、n bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, pr

28、operty damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited i

29、n this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying a

30、ny or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61746-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: CDV Report on voting 86/336/CDV 86/359/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard c

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. 61746-2 IEC:2010(E) 5 A list of all parts of IEC 61746 series, under the general title Calibration of optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDR), can

32、be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed,

33、withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. 6 61746-2 IEC:2010(E) INTRODUCTION In order for an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) to qualify as a candidate for complete calibration using this standard, it must be

34、equipped with the following minimum feature set: a) the ability to measure type A1a or A1b IEC 60793-2-10 fibres; b) a programmable index of refraction, or equivalent parameter; c) the ability to present a display of a trace representation, with a logarithmic power scale and a linear distance scale;

35、 d) two markers/cursors, which display the loss and distance between any two points on a trace display; e) the ability to measure absolute distance (location) from the OTDRs zero-distance reference; f) the ability to measure the displayed power level relative to a reference level (for example, the c

36、lipping level). Calibration methods described in this standard may look similar to those provided in Part 1 of this series. However, there are differences: mix of different fibre types, use of mode conditioner or different arrangement of the fibres. This leads to different calibration processes as w

37、ell as different uncertainties analysis. 61746-2 IEC:2010(E) 7 CALIBRATION OF OPTICAL TIME-DOMAIN REFLECTOMETERS (OTDR) Part 2: OTDR for multimode fibres 1 Scope This part of IEC 61746 provides procedures for calibrating multimode optical time domain reflectometers (OTDR). It covers OTDR measurement

38、 errors and uncertainties. The test of the laser(s) source modal condition is included as an optional measurement. This standard does not cover correction of the OTDR response. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
