19、r when the connector ismated under load. The test may be used to measure fiber pushback under simulatedloading conditions, or to compare the performance of different adhesive formulationsand/or connector assembly procedures.1.2 ScopeThis test measures fiber pushback, defined as permanent or semiperm

20、anent fiber motionunder load. It does not include temporary fiber movement relative to the ferrule due totemperature variations, or permanent fiber withdrawal that occurs when no load is present.The test applies to any type of optical connector in which a fiber is affixed into a ferrule bymeans of a

21、n adhesive.This test is limited to cylindrical radiused ferrules with non-angled endfaces.To perform this test procedure, the user must have the capability of measuring the fiberposition relative to the ferrule to within the accuracy required by the Detail Specification.Contacting or non-contacting

22、interferometers are the typical types of measurementequipment used.1.3 BackgroundThis test was developed because excessive, permanent fiber pushback can result in lossof physical contact at the connector endfaces, particularly if connectors are disconnectedand remated in a different configuration. I

23、n certain applications, the resulting increased lossand reflectance due to a gap at the fiber-fiber interface can cause unacceptable systemperformance degradation.Typical causes of fiber pushback may include, but are not limited to, the following:- inappropriate choice of adhesive for the applicatio

24、n/environment,Copyright Telecommunications Industry Association Provided by IHS under license with EIANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-TIA/EIA/455-1942-improper connector assembly procedures (dirt or grease contamination, adhesiveshelf life out of da

25、te, pot life exceeded, etc.),-incomplete or improper adhesive cure,-incomplete epoxy fill between the fiber and ferrule.1.4 HazardsThis method may involve the use of adhesives for sample preparation, which may behazardous, and users of this FOTP should consult the Materials Safety Data Sheets for th

26、ematerials they are using and follow appropriate safety procedures. This test method doesnot purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of the method to establish appropriate safety and health practicesand determine the applicability of

27、 regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 SummaryThe test method consists of a measurement of the fiber position relative to the ferrule,followed by aging while the connector endface is under load, to simulate the spring-loadingforces in a mated optical connector. The aging occurs under exposure to e

28、nvironmentalconditions and for a length of time, which are specified in the Detail Specification. Afteraging, the load is removed from the connector and the fiber position relative to the ferrule isremeasured. The change in fiber position must be less than that specified in the DetailSpecification.2

31、face is to be completedbefore and after the fiber pushback test. The measurements shall be made undercontrolled ambient conditions to ensure that the measured change is due to pushback andnot temperature or humidity effects.3.2 Fiber loading piece partsThe load to the connector piece parts shall be

32、applied by means of solid zirconia blanks ofnominally the same ferrule O.D. as the ceramic ferrule connector (2.499 mm). Ceramicalignment tubes shall be used to align the solid zirconia blanks to the fiber/ferrule of theoptical connector. The alignment tube I.D. shall be large enough so that frictio

33、n of theloading zirconia blank inside the tube is negligible, but small enough so that the zirconiablank is well-centered (to within 5 m) on the test specimen. Typical values would be aferrule O.D. of 2.499 mm. and a tube I.D. of 2.502 mm (+4 m,-0 m).Figure 1 shows the design for a zirconia blank, w

34、hich has a radiused tip. A radius of 30mm shall be used unless otherwise specified in the Detail Specification. The apex offsetshould be less than or equal to 5 m. The load should be applied along the vertical axis.Copyright Telecommunications Industry Association Provided by IHS under license with

42、ruleMeasure the fiber position relative to the ferrule before undergoing the test.5.3 Fiber pushback testThe fiber pushback test includes the following steps:5.3.1 Specimen mountingMount the connector or connector subassembly in the mounting fixture, with the ferruleinserted in the alignment tube. M

43、ate the zirconia blank against the connector test specimenand apply the load. Typical loads applied range from 0.7 kg to 1.5 kg.5.3.2 Test exposureExpose the connector or connector subassembly, mounted in the fixture, to theenvironmental test condition and for the length of time described in the Det

44、ail Specification.The test temperature is usually the maximum operating temperature expected for theferrule assembly (typically 65 C for outside plant conditions). Most of the fiber pushbackwill occur over the first few hours; the typical exposure time is 24 hours.5.3.3 Specimen removalRemove the te

45、st fixture from the environmental test condition and allow it to equilibrate toroom temperature before removing the load.5.4 Measurement of fiber position relative to the ferruleRemeasure the fiber position relative to the ferrule after undergoing the test. Themeasurement shall be made within one-ha

46、lf hour after removal of the applied load.Copyright Telecommunications Industry Association Provided by IHS under license with EIANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-TIA/EIA/455-19476 Calculations or interpretation of resultsThe results of the fiber pus

47、hback test can be used for two purposes. In one case, the testcan be used to compare the performance of different adhesives, assembly procedures, orresistance to different environmental conditions, etc., by comparing the amount of fiberpushback for different circumstances. In the other case, the tes

48、t can be used to assess theability of the adhesive to adequately lock the fiber into position relative to the ferrule underconditions simulating actual connector usage. The precision and bias for themeasurements are determined by the test method used to measure the sample endfacegeometry, in particular the fiber height. A test procedure to make this measurement isunder development, but is not yet published.6.1 Comparison testingSufficient number of samples should be tested to take into account the variability inspec
