Optical fibres - Part 2-10: Product specifications - Sectional specification for category A1 multimode fibres

Applicable to optical fibre types A1a, A1b, and A1d. These fibres are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables. Three types of requirements apply to these fibres: -general requirements, as defined in IEC 60793-2; -specific requirements common to the category A1 multimode fibres covered in this standard and which are given in clause 3; -particular requirements applicabe to individual fibre types or specific applications, which are defined in the normative family specification annexes. Temporarily included text of the DMD test method has been removed and modifications have been included on the A1a.1 and A1d chromatic dispersion specifications, and A1a.1 numerical aperture has been limited to one class only.

Fibres optiques - Partie 2-10: Spécification de produits - Spécification intermédiaire pour les fibres multimodales de catégorie A1

Applicables aux fibres optiques de type A1a, A1b et A1d. Ces fibres sont utilisées ou peuvent être intégrées dans des équipements destinés à la transmission de l'information et dans des câbles à fibres optiques. Trois types d'exigences s'appliquent à ces fibres: les exigences générales, qui sont définies dans la CEI 60793-2; des exigences spécifiques communes aux fibres multimodales de catégorie A1, couvertes par la présente norme et qui sont données à l'Article 3; des exigences particulières applicables à des types particuliers de fibres ou à des applications spécifiques, qui sont définies dans les spécifications de familles figurant en annexe. Le texte temporairement inclus sur la méthode d'essai DMD a été supprimé, et des modifications ont été incluses sur les spécifications de la dispersion chromatique des types A1a.1 et A1d, et l'ouverture numérique du type A1a.1 a été limitée à une seule classe.
