Telecom-Sonet Fiber Optic Test

EUROLABuses fully automated test systems for long-term reliability testing of optical and fiber components under environmental and mechanical stress conditions.

Fiber optic components require performance and reliability testing according to numerous Telcordia and other standards. EUROLAB also has extensive laboratory capabilities dedicated to SONET testing. These systems can provide on-site monitoring of many optical parameters over 200 channels simultaneously. In addition to testing, our laboratory offers compliance consulting and test plan development.

The test includes:

• Product geometry
• Cross section
• Geometric tolerances
• Mechanical tests (vibration, shock, etc.)
• Fiber integrity (tensile load, fiber flexibility and bending test)
• Environmental simulation (thermal cycling, thermal shock, aging)
• Air pollutants
• Salt spray
• Fungal resistance test
• FIT rate assessment
• Digital optical component test (BERT, eye diagram etc.)

SONET Test

Our lab is capable of testing Fiber Optic design standards such as GR-253-CORE for SONET equipment and equivalent international standards for SDH equipment.

Testing of SONET / SDH equipment includes several areas such as:

• Verification of Network Compatibility and Network Interface design
• Verification of STS-n / STM-n frame structure, Synchronous Load Envelope / Administrative Unit
• Timing and Synchronization
• Vibration and Crawl Test

Physical Parameter Test includes:

• Transmitter Features including Operating Wavelength Range, Extinction Rate, Side Mode Suppression Rate, Eye Diagram Mask, and Spectral Properties
• Receiver Features including Receiver Sensitivity, Overload and Reflection
• Pointer Setting
• Automatic Protection Switching (APS) Test
• Tandem Link Monitoring (TCM)

The general list of international standards for SDH Equipment is as follows:

• ITU-T G.703
• ITU-T G.707
• ITU-T G.783
• ITU-T G.957
• ITU-T G.958

There are other standards that may be applied depending on the functionality of the Optical Product to be tested. Countries such as Brazil, Japan, Switzerland, Poland and Singapore have their own standards for SDH type equipment.

EUROLABcan test these standards as well as vendor-driven requirements. Our GR-253-CORE testing capabilities combined with our ability to test fiber optic components for GR-326-CORE, GR-910-CORE, GR-1073-CORE, GR-1209-CORE and GR-1221-CORE will enable you to complete the full testing capabilities of your Optical Product. is enough to cover it.

Also The Turkish EUROLABoffers protocol analysis / system level testing for:

• EC1 (SONNET)
• EC3 (SONET) / STM-1E (SDH)
• OC1 (SONNET)
• OC3 (SONET) / STM-1 (SDH)
• OC12 (SONET) / STM-4 (SDH)
• OC48 (SONET) / STM-16 (SDH)
• OC192 (SONET) / STM-64 (SDH)
