What is PD IEC/TR 62627-01 - Fibre optic connector cleaning methods about?
PD IEC/TR 62627 is a technical report that discusses fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. PD IEC/TR 62627-01 provides for fibre optic connector cleaning methods to ensure effective cleaning of fibre optic.
PD IEC/TR 62627-01 is the first part of a multi-part series that details cleaning methods for fibre optic connectors. It includes typical cleaning tools and machines, and cleaning procedures. Other cleaning methods may exist.
PD IEC/TR 62627-01 may be used as a guideline to prepare instruction manuals for those involved in optical system maintenance and operation.
PD IEC/TR 62627-01 covers fibre optic connector plugs, optical adaptors, optical receptacles (excluding optical transceivers) and dust caps. Guidelines for optical connector end-face cleaning methods for receptacle style optical transceivers are covered in IEC TR 62572-4.
Note: PD IEC/TR 62627-01 does not address the visual inspection criteria, which are covered in IEC 61300-3-35: 2015.
Who is PD IEC/TR 62627-01 - Fibre optic connector cleaning methods for?
PD IEC/TR 62627-01 on fibre optic connector cleaning methods is useful for:
- Operators and maintenance staff of optical network systems
- Any person involved in optical system maintenance and operation
Why should you use PD IEC/TR 62627-01 - Fibre optic connector cleaning methods?
Optical fibre patch cords are handled by the operators and maintenance staff of optical network systems. An adhesive-backed stick-type cleaner is a cleaning tool for optical connector end-faces, receptacles and optical connector adaptors using a soft adhesive backing at the end of a stick.
