The shelves are designed to be mounted in the FIST-GR Optical Termination

Rack.
This shelf is designed to operate in ETSI1 climatic classes 3.1 - 3.3. This
covers weather-protected locations. This would typically be in exchanges,
primary distribution points and the customers premises such as building
basements, telecommunications equipment rooms, computer rooms, etc.
The Shelf consists of a metal chassis with a drawer and accomodates a series of
hinged Patch Panel Trays to house splices, passive optical devices, receptacles
and connectorized pigtails.
The Patching Shelf allows for selective access for maintenance and upgrades
without affecting live circuits.
Control on fiber management is maximised during installation, operation,
maintenance and upgrade:
pigtail routing is controlled with bend controls on the Patch Panel Tray.
pigtail routing is controlled with bend controls in the transition from the
Termination Rack side ducts towards the Patch Panel Trays.
Various connector receptacles (SC, FC, ST, E2000, etc.) can be easily installed
and replaced in the Patch Panel Tray.

This is the criterion test to check the influence on the optical signal transmission of
active circuits when circuits are added to the existing active circuits.
Sample description
The Shelf shall be mounted in the FIST-GR Optical Termination Rack.
The optical test sample shall be constructed in the following way:
Three (3) splicing/Patch Panel Trays are made active with 12 splices (between primary
coated fibers from loose tube to 900 m connectorized fibers) and 12 connections to 2.4
mm reinforced patch cords, randomly distributed over the 3 trays. The fibers and patch
cords are spliced and interconnected in such a way that the optical signal runs
sequentially through the selected fibers.

Change in Optical Loss

This is the criterion test for optical measurements.
This is defined as a measured attenuation which is exhibited by stable transmission
measurements taken before and after a test.
It shall be measured using an optical source and a detector operating at 1310 nm and
1550 nm.

The in and outgoing fibers of the test sample are spliced onto the connection fibers of
the equipment. Splices shall be made using good-quality fusion splices.
During the test the optical signal in each fiber circuit shall be measured with the light
source and detector at both wavelengths. A change of more than 0.3 dB per incoming
fiber (during the test) from the initial value constitutes a failure.
After the test the optical signal in each fiber circuit shall be measured with the light
fiber (after the test) from the initial value constitutes a failure.

Management) with a system approved to ISO 9001.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR QUALITY

Unless otherwise stated in the purchase order, it shall be the suppliers
responsibility to assure qualification and lot conformance to this specification.
The supplier may utilize his own or other testing and inspection facilities
acceptable to the buyer.
QUALIFICATION CONFORMANCE
For the purposes of internal qualification, the program shall consist of
examinations and tests to determine conformance with the requirements of this
specification.
It shall be performed on introduction of the product.
Subsequent design changes shall be partially or fully re-qualified depending
upon their area of impact in the context of product functionality.
For qualification testing to this specification for individual customers, the tests
and sample quantities shall be as agreed between Tyco Electronics and the

MANUFACTURING FOLLOW-UP
Components
Manufacturing in Kessel-Lo, Belgium is an integral part of the overall Quality
System of the Division5.
Customers are encouraged to audit not only manufacturing, but also other
departments.
Statistically based in-process control is practiced on all production lines where
appropriate, and is conducted on all parameters that govern end-product
functionality and performance.
The frequency of such control and follow-up is evaluated during capability
studies on new equipment and shop floor implementation of the results is
determined by the Quality Engineering Department.
In addition, the information is documented and controlled in the computerized
manufacturing specification system.
Sourced Components
All suppliers of materials, components or systems manufactured outside the Tyco
Electronics facilities are included in the Vendor Evaluation and Education
System.
As a consequence of this, Tyco Electronics audits relevant suppliers on a regular
basis in order to ensure conformance TQM progress and conformance to
specification requirements.
Suppliers who do not reach the minimum level of approval are given help to
improve their systems.
If a supplier has not yet reached this minimum level, but is making adequate
progress, outgoing controls at the supplier or incoming controls will be
considered, as appropriate, by Tyco Electronics.

TEST PROCEDURES
General
The construction and configuration of test sample shall be as described in the following
pages, unless otherwise described in a test plan agreed between Tyco Electronics and
the customer.
For each test, minimum 1 shelf shall be used, populated with an active circuit. At least
12 connections shall be checked per test.
All installations shall be performed according to Tyco Electronics standard installation
instructions unless otherwise stated.
All test samples will be installed with ruggedised internal optical pigtail cable of 2.4 mm
outside diameter containing a LSZH jacket and aramid strength member (Kevlar).
When a test is specified at another temperature, samples shall be preconditioned for a
period of 4 hours at that temperature.
Appearance
Installed samples shall be inspected with the naked eye for flaws, defects, cracks or
impurities which could impair functionality.
