The measurements shall be done using Level III testing equipment. Channel testing shall be preferred. Channels shall be tested to support 10 G 500 MHz

B.

The testers have to be calibrated according to the recommendations made by the supplier of the testing equipment. The following parameters have to be tested Pair continuity (wiremap) Pair length DC Loop resistance per pair Insertion loss (Attenuation) per pair NEXT and Powersum NEXT for every pair combination FEXT and Powersum FEXT for every pair combination The ACR (ratio NEXT/ insertion loss) for every pair combination Return Loss (impedance match, retransmitted signal)

The complete test results of all the installed links or channels shall be collected in a certification file. It is preferred to have the test result in electronic format to facilitate the certification procedure. Apart from all the test results mentioned above, a few more documents shall be added to the file: a list of material used for the project, a design of the network, a Cable schedule per distributor and finally all the necessary co-ordinates of the persons responsible of the project. C. Vertical Fiber Testing: The procedure shall comply with the ISO/IEC 14763-3 standard. The ISO/IEC 14763 standard specifies the implementation and operation of customer premises cabling. The part 3 of this ISO document (147633) details test procedures for optical fiber cabling designed in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801:2002 and installed according to the recommendations of ISO/IEC 14763-2 (Planning and installation of customer premises cabling). For Multimode fibers, the test procedure is based on the use of the one-jumper method specified by Method 2 of IEC 61280-4-1. This procedure is used for testing links for which the connector loss is a significant portion of the total link attenuation. This is the case for LAN premises links. For Singlemode fibers, the test procedure to be applied is the same and is based on the use of the one-jumper method specified by Method 1a of IEC 61280-4-2. Fiber-optic Tests applied to links and exclude equipment and work area cord. OF Attenuation testing is used to verify the initial performance of the installed link. All 100 % of the installed OF links have to be tested and must pass the acceptance criteria. The attenuation of the link is measured using the insertion loss method. This method uses an optical source and an optical power meter to compare the difference between two optical power levels. When testing multimode optical fiber links with a Light Source and a Power Meter, this measurement kit has to be capable of operating at 850nm and 1300nm for multimode fibers (OM1, OM2 & OM3) 1310nm and 1550nm for singlemode fibers (OS1)

The test scenario with a Light Source and a Power Meter shall be one of the following for each link: Single direction @ 850nm and @ 1300nm for multimode fibers Single direction @ 1310nm and @ 1550nm for singlemode fibers

The use of certification tool is recommended. Those tools are capable of producing a report logging the time of the test the link identification under test, the link length, the attenuation at the window tested and the acceptable link attenuation. The report shall also identify in which direction the testing was implemented. When testing with basic optical source and power meter, the operator will fill up a report logging:

The time of the test, The link identification under test, The link length and attenuation at the window tested. The report shall also identify in which direction the testing was implemented. Acceptable link attenuation (To be calculated)

The measured attenuation of the links shall have a lower value than the acceptable link attenuation calculated. END OF SECTION
