3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions defined in IEC 60794-1-1.2015 apply to this document. For ease of use, the following is repeated
Certain terms and definitions in IEC 60794-1-1.2015.
3.1 Nochangeinattenuation
Acceptance criteria for attenuation measurement.
Note 1.No change in attenuation includes measurement uncertainty caused by measurement error, or calibration error caused by the lack of a suitable reference standard.
Note 2.In actual understanding, the following values are used.
a) No change in attenuation of type B single-mode fiber. the absolute value of the total attenuation change (deltaA) is not greater than 0.05dB, or the absolute value of the attenuation coefficient change (deltaa)
The value is not more than 0.05dB/km. Any measured value within this range is regarded as "no change in attenuation".
The requirements for these parameters are expressed as. "no change" (ie |deltaA|<=0.05dB or |deltaa|<=0.05dB/km).
After negotiation between the user and the supplier, a small deviation of the low frequency deviation from this limit can be accepted, for example, less than 10%. However, for the mechanical performance test
Test, accept the deviation of not more than 0.15dB. For the environmental performance test, a deviation of not more than 0.10dB/km is accepted.
