IEC TR 61282-14:2024 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.

IEC TR 61282-14:2024, which is a Technical Report, establishes a detailed analysis and calculations of the uncertainties related to the measurement of the attenuation of both multimode and single-mode optical fibre cabling, using optical light sources and power meters. It also includes simplified analysis and calculation of the uncertainties related to the measurement of the attenuation of single-mode optical fibre cabling using OTDRs. This document contains an attached file in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. This file is intended to be used as a complement and does not form an integral part of the document. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of uncertainties calculation for optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) measurement methods based on the analysis provided in 61280-4-3;
b) addition of uncertainties calculation for passive optical networks (PON);
c) update of the list of reference grade connectors;
d) addition of probability distribution in Table D.1.
