DIN EN 61300-3-35:2016-04

This part of IEC 61300 describes methods for quantitatively assessing the end face quality of a polished fibre optic connector. The information is intended to be used in conjunction with other standards that specify requirements for the acceptability of surface defects such as scratches, chipping, and contamination that may affect optical performance. In general, the methods described in this standard apply to 125 μm cladding fibres contained within a ferrule and intended for use with sources of ≤ 2 W of input power. However, portions are applicable to non-ferruled connectors and other fibre types. Those portions are identified where appropriate. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 412.7 "LWL-Verbindungstechnik und passive optische Komponenten" ("Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive optical components") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
