Abstract
Active and passive fibre optics components are used in various mechanical and environmental conditions. Their characteristics and behavior may vary when they are subject to conditions that are far from the standard or laboratory conditions. In order to evaluate the effects of such conditions, mechanical and environmental testing are required. They are intended to demonstrate the ability of a component to withstand different kind of stresses simulating either transport and storage conditions or operating conditions.
