33.180.10 - Fibres and cables

This standard specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions.

IEC 60794-6-20:2020 is a family specification covering optical fibre outdoor cables which are flame retardant and thus also applicable to indoor environments. These cables generally possess the characteristics associated with outdoor cable designs having similar thermal and mechanical robustness that makes them suitable for use in the outside plant, while simultaneously exhibiting the fire performance required in indoor premises. A typical application is for example the extension of a "shorter l...view more

IEC 60794-6:2020 is a sectional specification covering general features of optical fibre cables applicable to outdoor as well as indoor environments, called "indoor-outdoor cables". Indoor-outdoor cables are deployed in outside plant environments as well as in premises thus fulfilling outdoor as well as indoor requirements. Typical application spaces are, for example, extension of a duct cable into a building or using this design for centralized cabling in the central office, the premises or loc...view more

IEC 60794-6-10:2020 is a family specification covering features of optical fibre cables applicable to outdoor as well as indoor environments, called "universal indoor-outdoor cables". These cables generally possess the characteristics associated with outdoor cable designs (according to IEC 60794-3, however typically less stringent, and typically "non armoured") having the thermal and mechanical robustness that makes them suitable for use in the outside plant, while simultaneously being flexible ...view more

IEC 60794-6-30:2020 is a family specification covering optical fibre indoor cables that are deployed in short length (≤ 10 m) outdoor environments. These cables generally possess the characteristics associated with indoor cable designs having the appropriate fire performance and flexibility that makes them suitable for use in premises. Because of its predicted use outdoors, stability against environmental attack, for example UV radiation and humidity (see IEC 60794-6:2020, Table 1), is important...view more

This part of IEC 62614 describes the launch condition requirements used for measuring
multimode attenuation in passive components and in installed cable plants.
In this document, the fibre types that are addressed include category A1-OMx, where x = 2, 3,
4 and 5 (50 μm/125 μm), and A1-OM1 (62,5 μm/125 μm) multimode fibres, as specified in
IEC 60793-2-10. The nominal test wavelengths detailed are 850 nm and 1 300 nm. This
document can be suitable for multimode attenuation measurements for ot...view more

IEC TR 62349:2014(E) applies to polarization-maintaining (PM) optical fibres. The object of this report is to define test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements for the geometrical and transmission properties of PM fibres. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2005. It constitutes a technical revision. In this edition, guidance of measurement methods and test procedures for dimensional characteristics, cut-off wavelength, mode field diameter ...view more

This part of IEC 61753 contains the minimum test and measurement requirements and
severities which a fibre optic isolator as specified by IEC 61202-1 satisfies in order to be
categorized as meeting the requirements of isolators used in controlled environments as
specified in IEC 61753-1. The requirements cover single-mode pigtailed style polarization
independent isolators for category C used in controlled environments.
