26、oying similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. The object of this part of IEC 60794 is to define test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for the geometrical, material, mechanical, environmental properties of opti

27、cal fibre cable elements. Throughout the document the wording “optical cable” may also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etc. General requirements and definitions are given in IEC 60794-1-20 and a complete reference guide to test method of all types in the IEC 60794-1-2. 2 Normativ

30、r splicing purposes by determining the attenuation increase of an optical (fibre, ribbon, core tube, breakout unit, etc.) element when bent within a splice closure or similar device. 3.2 Sample The length of the sample of optical element shall be sufficient to carry out the testing specified. 3.3 Ap

31、paratus The apparatus consists of: a) a mandrel having a smooth surface with diameter as stated in the detail specification; BS EN 60794-1-23:201260794-1-23 IEC:2012(E) 7 b) an attenuation measuring apparatus (see IEC 60793-1-40). 3.4 Procedure The element to be tested shall be loosely wound on the

32、mandrel; the number of turns shall be stated in the detail specification. In order to measure the attenuation increase caused by bending, allowance should be made for the intrinsic attenuation of the fibre. 3.5 Requirements Any increase in attenuation shall comply with the limits shown in the detail

33、 specification. 3.6 Details to be specified The detail specification shall include the following: a) optical test wavelength; b) diameter of the mandrel; c) number of turns; d) apparatus and attenuation measuring technique; e) temperature. 4 Method G2: Ribbon dimensions and geometry Visual method 4.

34、1 Object The purpose of this test is to determine the geometry of an optical fibre ribbon as defined by the parameters of width, height and fibre alignment, for the purpose of type testing to assume proper manufacturing process control. This test is not necessarily suitable for final product inspect

35、ion and, unless otherwise specified, shall not be used for that purpose. 4.2 Sample The number of samples to be tested shall be specified in the detail specification. The selected samples shall be statistically independent and representative of the ribbon population tested. 4.3 Apparatus The apparat

36、us consists of a microscope or profile projector with appropriate magnification. 4.4 Procedure 4.4.1 General Either of the two following procedures may be used. For the specified number of samples, all dimensions shall be measured as average as well as maximum and minimum values. 4.4.2 Method 1 The

37、sample is prepared by cutting it perpendicular to the axis of the ribbon and placing it in a curable resin or in a tool which holds the ribbon. If necessary, the sample shall be ground and polished to prepare a smooth perpendicular end face. The prepared sample is secured with its end face perpendic

38、ular to the optical path and measured by means of a microscope or profile projector. BS EN 60794-1-23:2012 8 60794-1-23 IEC:2012(E) NOTE Care should be taken that the preparation of the sample does not change the structure of the fibre ribbon and represents an undisturbed image of the fibre cladding

39、 and ribbon cross-section. 4.4.3 Method 2 Place the ribbon in a ribbon fibre holder and remove 20 mm to 25 mm of the fibre coating and matrix material with the ribbon hot sheath stripping tool and wipe the stripped portion of the fibres clean with an alcohol-moistened pad. Adjust the position of the

40、 ribbon in the ribbon fibre holder and cleave the fibres at a distance of 250 m to 500 m from the stripped edge of the ribbon. Cut and polish the other end of the ribbon, and illuminate it with a collimated light source. Align and measure the cleaved end of the ribbon under microscope. NOTE Care sho

41、uld be taken that the preparation of the sample does not change the structure of the fibre ribbon and represents an undisturbed image of the fibre cladding and ribbon cross-section. 4.5 Requirements Unless otherwise specified in the detail specification, the width, height and fibre alignment shall b

42、e in accordance with IEC 60794-3:2001, Table 1. 4.6 Details to be specified The detail specification shall include the following: a) permissible maximum and minimum values; b) average values; c) number of samples tested. 4.7 Definitions of ribbon dimensions and geometry 4.7.1 General The following d

43、efinitions apply to a fibre ribbon cross-section as shown in Figure 1. The figure illustrates an example for a 4-fibre ribbon, where a is the diameter of a coloured fibre. NOTE In consideration of the precision of fiber geometric attributes and the relatively larger precision of ribbon geometry requ

44、irements, it is acceptable for glass core/glass cladding fibres to use the edge of the cladding for the measurements of 4.7.3 and 4.7.4 in lieu of the fibre centres. In this case, the measurements shall be made on the same side of all fibres (e.g. top or bottom, left or right side). 4.7.2 Width and

45、height The width w and height h of the ribbon are the dimensions of the minimum rectangular area enclosing the ribbon cross-section. 4.7.3 Basis line The basis line is given in the cross-section of an optical fibre ribbon as the straight line crossing the fibre centres of the first fibre (fibre 1) a

46、nd the last fibre (fibre n) of the fibre ribbon. 4.7.4 Fibre alignment 4.7.4.1 Horizontal fibre separation The horizontal separation of fibres is the distance of the orthogonal projection of two fibre centres on the basis line in the fibre ribbon cross-section. Two horizontal separation parameters c

47、an be distinguished: a) centre-centre distance d between adjacent fibres; b) centre-centre distance b between the extreme fibres; BS EN 60794-1-23:201260794-1-23 IEC:2012(E) 9 4.7.4.2 Planarity The planarity p of the fibre ribbon structure is the sum of the maximum positive and absolute values of th

48、e maximum negative vertical separation of the fibres. The vertical separation of the fibres is the orthogonal distance from the fibre centre to the basis line. The vertical separation is positive for fibres “above” the basis line and negative for fibres “below” the basis line. a d b w phFigure 1 Cro

In order to ensure functional performance, the dimensions of edge bonded ribbons may be controlled and verified for final inspection purposes with an aperture gauge. The intent is to verify that the end portion of a ribbon can be inserted into and would be reasonably aligned to the
