Descibes uniform requirements for the mechanical characteristic: fibre curl or latent curvature, in uncoated optical fibres.

Establishes uniform requirements for fibre curl or latent curvature in uncoated optical fibres. This is important in minimizing splice loss when using fusion splicers. Two methods are used: (a) side view microscopy, (b) laser beam scattering. Method (a) is the reference test method to resolve disputes.
