pair under test and is not reference
quality.
Launch fiber/cable shall be wrapped
in order to achieve Category 1
launch conditions according to
TIA/EIA-526-14A. Wraps shall be
close wound turns on a smooth
surface and be secured in such a
manner to guarantee integrity for
the duration of the test.
Use the following protocol for jack
termination: Terminate the jack in
accordance with Instruction Sheet
408-4555 or 408-8718 as
appropriate. If the initial IL reading
is 0.65 dB or greater, then the field
fiber should be removed, and re-
inserted. If the second reading is
0.65 dB or greater the fiber should
be cut off, prepared, and terminated
per the specifications for fiber
preparation in 408-4555 or 408-
8718.
Minimum return loss for any single
specimen is 20 dB.

located 23 cm [ 9 in] from behind
the back end of the module
assembly, apply a 2.2 N [0.5 lbf]
tensile load to each buffered or
coated fiber. Apply load at a rate of
25.4 mm [1 in] per minute at 0
degree pull angle to the mated test
specimen. Hold for 5 seconds.
Measure attenuation and return loss
before and after test.
EIA/TIA-455-6B,
Method 1, 90-degrees:
Repeat cable retention test with
tensile load applied at a 90-degree
pull angle.
Use 2.2 N [0.5 lbf] tensile load for
each buffered or coated fiber when
testing the module assembly.
EIA-455-21A.
Mate and unmate plug-to-jack
connection 500 times. Measure
attenuation and return loss before
and after test. Clean the specimen
every 25 cycles. Record attenuation
every 50 cycles. Record final
readings after the specimens have
been inspected and cleaned.

Using a 7.5 cm [3 in] mandrel, apply
a 224 g [0.5 lbf] tensile load to
buffered or coated fiber at a
minimum distance of 20 cm [8 in]

assembly on the receive side of the
mated specimen. Flex loaded side ±
90 degrees per cycle for 100 cycles
at maximum rate of 15 cycles per
