GR-326-CORE for fiber optic connectors

You will need an insertion / return loss test system to go along with our chamber to do these tests.  We recommend the Optical Component Environmental Test System (OCETS) from JDS Uniphase. It is ready to work with an ESPEC environmental chamber, making the perfect optical components environmental test system for long term testing to Telcordia (Bellcore) standards GR-326, 1209, 1221. 

All the required tests can be done by our ESX Platinous model

Title Description Benchtop Models Reach-in Models
4.4.2.1 Thermal Age Test 85°C Any benchtop or PH or PV ovens Any Platinous or Platinum
4.4.2.2 Thermal Cycle Test  -40 to 75°C   ESZ, ESX, or ENZ, ENX
4.4.2.3 Humidity Aging Test 75°C/95% Any humidity model ESZ, ESX, or ENZ, ENX
4.4.2.4 Humidity/Condensation Cycling Test  -10 to 65°C w/ condensation   see note below ESL, ESX or ENL, ENX
4.4.2.5 Dry-out Step 75°C Any benchtop or PH or PV ovens Any Platinous or Platinum
4.4.4.1 Dust Test Arizona fine dust    
4.4.4.2 Adhesive Test 65°C Any benchtop or PH or PV ovens Any Platinous or Platinum

For test 4.4.2.4, we don't recommend our benchtop series due to the requirement for heat-up as fast as possible (3.75°C/min. minimum) in order to create condensation.  For Platinous models, a special, but inexpensive modification is required.
