ITM-10 Procedure for Applying Loads Directly to the Fiber in Optical Connectors or Fiber/Ferrule Assemblies to Quantify Fiber Pushback
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| TIA | 1999 | 13 |
This test measures fiber pushback, defined as permanent or
semipermanent fiber motion under load. It does not include
temporary fiber movement relative to the ferrule due to temperature
variations, or permanent fiber withdrawal that occurs when no load
is present. The test applies to any type of optical connector in
which a fiber is affixed into a ferrule by means of an
adhesive.
To perform this test procedure, the user must have the
capability of measuring the fiber position relative to the ferrule
to within the accuracy required by the Detail Specification.
Contacting or non-contacting interferometry are the typical types
of measurement equipment used.
Because this test is for comparative purposes only, and not
intended to simulate the actual amount of fiber pushback in optical
connectors, it is not a specifiable parameter. Therefore, this test
method shall not be called out in any TIA specification
document.
