prEN IEC 61300-2-33:2025

This part of IEC 61300, evaluates the assembly and disassembly of a fibre optic mechanical splice, a fibre management system, a protective housing or a hardend connector for a specified number of times.
The test procedures simulate the following conditions which can be found in the component service lifetime:
- the ability of an optical mechanical splice to be re-installed after disassembly;
- the ability to re-enter fibre management systems and protective housings, accessing fibres and optical components and making reconfigurations without disturbing transmission in adjacent fibre circuits;
- verification of the sealing performance after frequent opening and closing of the protective housing;
- verification of the sealing performance after frequent mating and demating of the hardened connector
