The intent of this test procedure is to specify a method of measuring the polariation crosstalk of single-mode, highly linearly berefringent (commonly called polarization-maintaining or PM) optical fiber and components. This standard is applicable to fibers and components having connectors attached to one or both ends, and to two or more.
