This standard specifies procedures for the practical measurement of the attenuation and variation in attenuation of optical fibre or optical cable (both hereafter referred to as fibre). Methods A and B are intended for fibre acceptance testing and shall be performed on fibre lengths greater than 1 km. Method C is intended for attenuation measurement required during environmental and mechanical testing and shall be performed on fibre lengths less than 100 m.
