SC/APCPre-Connectorized Optical Fiber Drop Cable Test method 1 Terms and definitions

212

1.1

Name:Pre-Connectorized Optical Fiber Drop Cable

1.2  Requirement of Pre-Connectorized Optical Fiber Drop Cable

1.3  Structure Requirements

Pre-Connectorized Optical Fiber Drop Cable is composed of butterfly type introduction cable and fiber optic removable connector plug.

According to the structure classification, it can be divided into: single-end prefabricated end type and double-end prefabricated end type. The schematic diagram of the structure is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

 

1.4   Requirements for optical Fiber Connector Plugs

1.4.1  Requirements on the Size of the Optical Fiber connector

The length of the Pre-Connectorized Optical Fiber Drop Cable plug (including the protection sleeve) should not be greater than 60mm, which is shown in Figure 3.

Interface graphics and matching size should meet the requirements IEC 61754,YD/T 1272.3-2005

 

1.4.2   Requirements for the End face of the Connector

The end faces of optical fiber connectors are classified into the following 2 types

a) UPC type :A pin body with a spherical polishing surface and achieving physical contact (UPC) is provided

b) APC type :A pin body with an 8 degree oblique spherical polishing surface (APC8°) and physical

contact is achieved The end face of the insert body should meet the requirements of IEC 61754,YD/T 2152-2010。

1.4.3  Structural Requirements for the Connector of the Optical Fiber

b) Storage temperature:-40℃~+70℃。

c) Relative humidity:≤95%(+30℃时) 。

d) Barometric pressure:62kPa~106kPa。

1.8  Material Requirements

The materials used should meet the following requirements:

a)   The combustion performance of the plastic parts  used for  Pre-Connectorized Optical Fiber  Drop

Cable SC plug should conform to the provisions of GB/T 5169.5-2008 <>, and the duration of the test flame is 10 seconds.

b) The sheath of FTTH Cable shall be made of flame retardant material, and its flame retardant performance shall meet the requirements of 6.4.4.3 in Q/CT 2348-2011 <>.

c) Two strengthening members shall be symmetrically placed on the FTTH cable, and the requirements of strengthening members shall meet the requirements of 6.1.4 in Q/CT 2348-2011.

d) Pre-Connectorized Optical Fiber Drop Cable can withstand the required test conditions, the adhesive used to make SC plug has no adverse effect on the plug structure, its physical, chemical and optical properties should match the butterfly introduction cable, must not damage the optical properties of the prefabricated end butterfly introduction cable.

e) Comply with RoHS standards, can not pollute the environment, in line with environmental protection standards.

f) When the finished product is damaged, its components are not allowed to cause harm to people
