7、TICAL FIBRE CABLES GUIDELINES FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions con

8、cerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Th

9、eir preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates

10、 closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the r

11、elevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that t

12、he 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 order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maxi

13、mum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies

14、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 certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC

15、 or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and exp

17、ention 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 any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a techn

18、ical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC TR 62690, which is a technical report, has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres

19、 and cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. The text of this technical report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 86A/1586/DTR 86A/1605/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the report on voting indi

23、on of optical fibre cables worldwide, both for terrestrial and submarine environments, with the provision of stable transmission characteristics over many years. In the early 1980s, it was established that some optical fibre designs in certain cable constructions were prone to hydrogen-induced atten

24、uation increases. The mechanism of the hydrogen induced loss was quickly established and after extensive research and development programs, fibre designs were optimized to minimize the effects. Cable designers established suitable design rules and optimized the selection of cable materials so as to

25、also minimize the effects of hydrogen induced attenuation increases during service life. PD IEC/TR 62690:2014 6 IEC TR 62690:2014 IEC 2014 HYDROGEN EFFECTS IN OPTICAL FIBRE CABLES GUIDELINES 1 Scope The purpose of this technical report is to provide information concerning the behaviour of fibres and

26、 cables when exposed to hydrogen effects. The application of multimode fibres is very rarely subject to hydrogen effects. For that reason, this technical report only highlights the effects of hydrogen to single-mode fibres. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are nor

27、matively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

29、ct depends on the cable type (including fibre design) and its operational environment. In the case of suitably designed, single-mode fibre cables for terrestrial applications, there is sufficient experience to not require any test in cables for significant concentrations of hydrogen which could caus

30、e an increase in optical attenuation. The induced loss for single-mode fibre due to hydrogen at a partial pressure of up to 1,0 10 4 Pa (9,9 10 2atm) is no greater than 0,03 dB/km and 0,06 dB/km, at 1 310 nm and 1 550 nm, respectively. The dynamic equilibrium pressure or balance of hydrogen within a

31、 terrestrial cable with no hermetic barrier will be significantly less than 1,0 10 4 Pa, and therefore, optical reliability is ensured. Typical values of 40,5 Pa equivalent to 4,0 10 4atm have been measured for duct cable several years after installation 1 1 . At these partial pressures, the attenua

32、tion increase is insignificant. 4 Evaluation of hydrogen induced effects Depending on the cable type and its planned operational environment, an evaluation of hydrogen induced effects 2 may or may not be warranted. Table 1 offers a guide to the necessity to evaluate cables for hydrogen induced atten

Use of h

36、ydrogen-absorbing materials in the cable construction may obviate the need for evaluation in cable form. 5 Hydrogen effects in optical fibre cables NOTE As indicated in Clause 1, the application space of multimode fibres is rarely subject to hydrogen effects. The theoretical effects of hydrogen on m

37、ultimode fibres is presented in this clause for the information of users. Both single-mode and multimode optical fibre cables can optically degrade due to the accumulation of hydrogen gas within the cable structure during its operational lifetime. The magnitude of the effect depends on the following

38、 factors: the fibre type, its dopant composition/concentration and its intrinsic susceptibility to hydrogen; the levels of hydrogen gas (i.e. partial pressure) generated in the cable during its operational lifetime; the design of the cable and, in particular, the choice and combination of materials

39、used in its construction; the installation environment, including its operational temperature. Hydrogen gas may build up within a cable from: hydrogen released from the cable components, including that associated with long-term ageing effects of the materials; hydrogen contained in pressurised air p

40、umped into the cable; corrosion action of metallic elements in the presence of moisture; biological corrosion by sulphate reducing bacteria. The optical loss mechanisms due to hydrogen can be classified as follows: a reversible interstitial effect associated with diffusion of the H 2molecules into t

41、he silica glass fibre. The effect is very similar for all fibre types (both multimode and single-mode) and its magnitude is linear with the partial pressure of hydrogen; a permanent chemical effect due to hydroxyl formation through chemical combination of diffused hydrogen molecules and defect sites

42、 in the silica glass fibre. The magnitude of the effect is related to the square root of the partial pressure of hydrogen. For single-mode fibres, the permanent loss will be much smaller than the interstitial loss even after 25 years in a hostile operational environment: a wavelength dependent loss,

43、 which is only experienced at elevated temperatures (in excess of 60 C) in single-mode fibres, and is again much smaller than the interstitial loss observed at ambient temperature; PD IEC/TR 62690:2014 8 IEC TR 62690:2014 IEC 2014 monitoring the loss increases at the characteristic wavelength of 1 2

44、40 nm and 1 380 nm is a good indicator of both the interstitial and permanent chemical effects.
