This Recommendation contains definitions and test methods suitable mainly for factory measurements of the statistical and non-linear attributes of the single-mode optical fibres and cables described in ITU-T Recs G.652, G.653, G.654, and G.655, G.6567, and G.657. These definitions and test methods are generally not appropriate for multimode fibre, such as that described in ITU-T Rec. G.651. Some of the test methods, when so indicated, may also be used to characterize discrete optical components, such as those described in ITU-T Rec. G.671. ITU-T Rec. G.650.1 contains definitions and test methods for linear deterministic attributes.
