Title
FOTP-3 Procedure to Measure Temperature Cycling Effects on Optical Fibers, Optical Cable, and Other Passive Fiber Optic Components
Telecommunications Industry Association
Publication Date:
May 1, 1989
Scope:
This test procedure describes a method for the determination of
temperature cycling effects or the
temperature dependence of attenuation on optical fibers, cables, cable
assemblies, connectors,
and/or other passive fiber optic devices. This procedure tests the
ability of the component to
withstand changes in temperature of the surrounding atmosphere that
may be encountered during
operation. The simulation of temperature shock testing is covered in
FOTP-71 (EIA-455-71),
"Procedure to Measure Temperature Shock Effects on Fiber Optic
Components."(Footnote 1)
Typical indications of damage resulting from this test are:
A. An excessive temporary or permanent change in optical throughput
which exceeds specified limits
as defined in the Detail Specification.
B. Broken parts, cracks, blisters in materials or accessories.
C. Inability to mate or unmate, if sample is a connector.
D. Damage to seals or "O" rings, if the sample is a connector or
device.
Footnote 1 - This FOTP will appear as a future Addendum to EIA 455.
