In order to adapt to the ultra-long distance transmission of optical cable(such as intercontinental sea cable
international long distance land cable trunk and so on) and the fierce cost competition of optical cable
the ultra-long commercial optical fibre length spool(this paper refers to the optical fiber with the delivery fibre length spool of 75 km
100 km) came into application. Compared with the traditional 25 km
50 km commercial fibre length spool
the ultra-long fibre length requires higher production process control and is more difficult to produce. Due to the multiple growth of length
the test of part of the performance of optical fiber cannot be carried out due to the limitation of equipment function. This paper takes 100 km length optical fiber testing as an example to study the testing methods of important characters with challenging testing difficulty
such as attenuation end difference
attenuation uniformity
polarization mode dispersion and other properties of optical fiber
so as to ensure the quality control of ultra-long optical fiber.
