IEC 61300-2-3 Fiber Optic Interconnection Devices and Passive Components Part 2-3: Static Shear Load Testing

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of IEC 61300-2-3 standard. This part of the IEC 61300 standard is applicable to fiber optic devices with connectors or panel-mount connector sets. The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that the connector set can withstand the shear forces likely to be applied during normal service.

IEC 61300-2-3 Fiber Optic Interconnection Devices and Passive Components Part 2-3: Static Shear Load Testing

The force can be applied to the coupling kit, component housing, or other specified part. The sample is mounted on a metal plate that simulates the normal mounting method. A constant shear force is applied.

IEC 61300-2-3 Test Procedure

The first inspections and measurements are carried out in accordance with the detail specifications. The load is applied to the specified point, at the specified application speed and in the specified directions without any problems. The load must be maintained for at least 10 seconds.

Unless otherwise stated, devices and their parts are inspected according to the requirements of IEC 61300-3-1. Other specified inspections or measurements will be made when detail specification requires.

Intensity consists of load size. The severity will be given in the detail specification. The following details shall be specified in the detail specification, as applicable:

  • The magnitude of the load and its application rate;
  • Application point and direction of load;
  • The sample is optically working or not;
  • Preconditioning procedure;
  • recovery procedure;
  • Initial inspections and measurements and performance requirements;
  • Inspections and measurements during testing and performance requirements;
  • Final exams and metrics and performance requirements;
  • Optical measurement method if necessary;
  • Deviations from the test procedure;
  • Additionally pass/fail criteria.
