IEC TR 61282-14:2024 PDF

IEC TR 61282-14:2024, which is a Technical Report, establishes a detailed analysis and calculations of the uncertainties related to the measurement of the attenuation of both multimode and single-mode optical fibre cabling, using optical light sources and power meters. It also includes simplified analysis and calculation of the uncertainties related to the measurement of the attenuation of single-mode optical fibre cabling using OTDRs. This document contains an attached file in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. This file is intended to be used as a complement and does not form an integral part of the document. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) addition of uncertainties calculation for optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) measurement methods based on the analysis provided in 61280-4-3; b) addition of uncertainties calculation for passive optical networks (PON); c) update of the list of reference grade connectors; d) addition of probability distribution in Table D.1.
