This part of IEC 61300 evaluates the effects of vibration on fibre optic devices at the predominant frequency ranges and magnitudes that are encountered during field service on attenuation. NOTE Most vibrations encountered in service are not of a simple harmonic nature. However, it has been shown that tests based on vibrations of this type are satisfactory to simulating actual service.

IEC 61300-2-1:2023 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61300-2-1:2023 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 61300-2-1:2023 permet d’apprécier les effets des vibrations sur l’affaiblissement des dispositifs fibroniques pour des plages et amplitudes de fréquences prépondérantes qui sont rencontrées pendant l’intervention sur site. NOTE: La plupart des vibrations rencontrées en service ne sont pas de la nature d’une harmonique simple. Cependant, il a été démontré que les essais utilisant des vibrations de ce type conviennent pour simuler les services réels. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition, parue en 2009. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: harmonisation avec les conditions d’essai de l’IEC 61753-1: 2018 et révision des sévérités.

Overview
EN IEC 61300-2-1:2023 (IEC 61300-2-1:2023) specifies sinusoidal vibration test methods for fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. The standard evaluates the effect of vibration, at frequency ranges and magnitudes typical of field service, on optical attenuation and mechanical integrity. Although most in-service vibrations are not purely harmonic, sinusoidal vibration testing is accepted as a practical simulation of field conditions. This edition (2023) supersedes the 2009 version and harmonizes test severities with IEC 61753-1:2018.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and objective: Measure how vibration affects attenuation and functional performance of fibre optic devices and passive components.
- Test basis: Derived from IEC 60068-2-6 (Test Fc: Vibration, sinusoidal).
- Test directions: DUT (device under test) is vibrated in three mutually perpendicular axes - one axis parallel to the optical axis.
- Amplitude specification: Vibration severity defined in terms of constant displacement or constant acceleration.
- Apparatus:
- Vibration generator
- Mounting fixture tailored to DUT
- Acceleration monitoring devices
- Optical and electrical measuring equipment
- Procedure steps: Preparation of DUT, preconditioning, initial examination and measurement, mounting and test execution, monitoring during test, recovery, and final examination and measurement.
- Severity tables: Recommended parameter values are provided for a range of products (connectors, fibre-management systems, mechanical splices, wall outlets, hardened connectors, closures, street cabinets), enabling product-specific test selection.
- Reporting: Details to be specified and reported include test parameters, mounting, monitoring methods, and measured attenuation changes.
Applications and who uses it
- Manufacturers of connectors, adapters, splice modules and fibre-management hardware use this standard for product qualification and R&D.
- Independent test laboratories apply the procedures for compliance testing and certification.
- Network operators and system integrators reference the standard for procurement specifications and acceptance testing to ensure reliability in field environments (e.g., telecom, datacom, outdoor enclosures).
- Design and reliability engineers use the guidance to validate mechanical designs against vibration-induced signal loss.
- Certification bodies and procurement teams include EN IEC 61300-2-1:2023 in vendor requirements to reduce deployment risk.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional pub

The article discusses the EN IEC 61300-2-1:2023 standard, which focuses on testing the effects of vibration on fiber optic devices. The standard evaluates how vibration at various frequencies and magnitudes, commonly found during field service, affects attenuation. Although vibrations in real-life situations are typically more complex, tests based on sinusoidal vibrations have been proven to be sufficient in simulating actual service conditions.
The article discusses the EN IEC 61300-2-1:2023 standard, which is related to fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. This standard focuses on testing and measuring the effects of vibration on these devices, specifically at the frequencies and magnitudes commonly encountered in the field. It is important to note that most vibrations experienced in real-world scenarios are not of a simple harmonic nature. However, tests based on vibrations of this type have been found to be effective in simulating actual service conditions.
