AS/NZS 14763.3:2017 Information technology - Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling, Part 3: Testing of optical fibre cabling (ISO/IEC 14763-3:2014, MOD)
Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee CT-001, Communications Cabling,Telecommunications installations—Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling, Part 3: Testing of optical fibre cabling (ISO/IEC 14763-3:2011, MOD) to supersede AS/NZS ISO/IEC 14763.3:2012, Telecommunications installations—Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling, Part 3: Testing of optical fibre cabling (ISO/IEC 14763- 3:2011, MOD).
This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (June 2018). The changes required by the Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
(a) General requirements (Clause 5) have been revised and the concept of normalization has been replaced by reference measurements.
(b) OTDR characterization (6.2) and requirements for cabling interface adapters (6.3) and test cords have been revised and requirements for single-mode fibre test cords (6.3.4) have been removed.
(c) Enhanced three-test-cord reference method has been introduced (9.1.1.2).
(d) Requirements for the attenuation measurement of cords (10.6) have been revised.
(e) Annex A ‘Launched modal distribution (LMD)’ has been simplified and the new title now reads ‘Launched modal conditions for testing multimode optical fibre cabling’.
(f) Visual inspection criteria for connectors have been reworked (Annex B).
(g) Information on optical time domain reflectometry (Annex C) has been revised.
(h) Examples of calculations of channel and permanent link limits (Annex G) have been revised.
(i) Information regarding cleaning and inspection of fibre optic connections have been added (Annex H).
The objective of this Standard is to specify systems and methods for the inspection and testing of installed optical fibre cabling designed in accordance with premises cabling standards including AS/NZS 3080, ISO/IEC 24764, ISO/IEC 24702 and ISO/IEC 15018. The test methods refer to existing standards-based procedures where they exist.
This Standard is an adoption with national modifications and has been reproduced from ISO/IEC 14763-3:2014, Information technology—Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling, Part 3: Testing of optical fibre cabling, and its Corrigendum 1 (2015) which has been added at the end of the source text. This Standard has been varied as indicated to take account of Australian/New Zealand conditions. The modifications are specified in Appendix ZZ.
Correction amendment AS/NZS 14763.3:2017 Amd 1:2018 removes from Appendix ZZ corrections to the main text that are covered by Corrigendum 1. Please refer to Corrigendum 1 in conjunction with Appendix ZZ.
As this Standard is reproduced from an International Standard, the following applies:
(i) In the source text ‘this part of ISO/IEC 14763’ should read ‘this Australian/New Zealand Standard’.
(ii) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.
Only normative references that have been adopted as Australian or Australian/New Zealand Standards have been listed.
Australian or Australian/New Zealand Standards that are identical adoptions of international normative or informative references may be used interchangeably. Refer to the online catalogue for information on specific standards.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the annex or appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ annex or appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ annex or appendix is only for information and guidance.
Originated as AS/NZS ISO/IEC 14763.3:2007. Previous edition 2012. Jointly revised and designated AS/NZS 14763.3:2017. Reissued incorporating Amendment No. 1 (June 2018).
This part of ISO/IEC 14763 specifies systems and methods for the inspection and testing of installed optical fibre cabling designed in accordance with premises cabling standards including ISO/IEC 11801, ISO/IEC 24764, ISO/IEC 24702 and ISO/IEC 15018. The test methods refer to existing standards-based procedures where they exist.
