Description (English):

IEC 61300-2-9: 2017 defines a test method to reveal mechanical weakness and/or degradation of fibre optic devices when subjected to repetitive or non-repetitive mechanical shocks. It simulates infrequent repetitive or non-repetitive shocks likely to be encountered in normal service or during transportation. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - inserted clause "Terms and definitions"; - added precise descriptions to clause "Apparatus"; - added sub clause "Testing" into clause "Procedure"; - added "Bibliography".

Abstract

Overview

IEC 61300-2-9:2017 specifies a standardized shock test method for fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. The standard defines how to expose a device under test (DUT) to repetitive or non‑repetitive mechanical shocks-simulating infrequent shocks encountered in normal service or during transportation-to reveal mechanical weakness or degradation. This third edition is a technical revision that adds terms and definitions, more precise apparatus descriptions, a testing sub‑clause in the procedure, and a bibliography.

Key topics and technical requirements

Test objective: Reveal mechanical weakness/degradation of fibre‑optic devices under shock loading representative of transport or service environments.
Pulse shape: Tests use half‑sinusoidal shock pulses measured at defined check points; pulse tolerances and monitoring intervals are specified.
Shock directions and counts: DUTs are subjected to two or three shock pulses in each direction of three mutually perpendicular axes.
Apparatus: Acceptable shock machines include free‑fall, resilient‑rebound, nonresilient, hydraulic, compressed‑gas or equivalent systems. Machines must produce calibrated accelerations and the specified half‑sine excitation at checkpoints.
Repetition rate: Selected so relative motion within the DUT between shocks is substantially zero and measured acceleration meets pulse tolerances.
Velocity change: Actual velocity change must be within ±15% of the nominal value. When integrated from acceleration, the integration window is from 0.4 D before the pulse to 0.1 D after the pulse (D = nominal pulse duration).
Cross‑axis motion: The standard limits unintended acceleration perpendicular to the intended shock direction (see clause 5.1.4 for tolerance requirements).
Procedure steps: Preparation of DUT, pre‑conditioning, initial examinations and measurements, testing, recovery, and final examinations (visual and optical-transient loss and power measurements).
Shock severity: Defined as the combined effect of peak acceleration, pulse duration, and number of shocks.

Applications and who uses it

Manufacturers of fibre optic connectors, adapters, pigtails, splice closures, and passive modules for product qualification and design validation.
Test laboratories and OEM QA teams performing standardized shock testing for compliance and reliability assessment.
Systems integrators and transport engineers assessing packaging and handling robustness for fibre‑optic assemblies.
Practical benefits: predictable, repeatable shock testing; improved product reliability in shipment and field use; basis for product specifications and acceptance criteria.
