Test conditions for hybrid optical and electrical cables

IPC-A-640, officially titled “Acceptance Requirements for Optical Fiber, Optical Cable, and Hybrid Wiring Harness Assemblies,” provides acceptance criteria for cable and wire harness assemblies that incorporate optical fiber technology. GR-3173 sets forth proposed generic technical requirements and characteristics of hybrid optical and electrical cables for use in wireless Fiber To The Antenna (FTTA) applications. 1 explains the type II optical/electrical hybrid cable (OEHC) in which a copper pair is used for power delivery (not for telecommunications) and an optical fibre can support data transmission up to and beyond 1 Gbit/s. The current application scenarios for remote powering. This standard describes the minimum performance for a hybrid cable containing single-mode optical fibers and electrical conductors to convey signal and control in a variety of environments where moisture, weather, and ozone resistance are required. Testing these hybrid cables, however, has presented a challenge.
