IEC 60794-1-130:2025 describes test procedures to evaluate the coefficient of dynamic friction of the sheathing material of a cable when pulled over or between other cables. Methods E30A and E30B evaluate the coefficient of friction between cables for when either a cable is pulled over the top of other cables (drum test) or when pulling a cable between other cables of the same shape (flat plate test). This document applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. Throughout the document, wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units and microduct fibre units. This first edition cancels and replaces Method E24 of the first edition of IEC 60794‑1‑21 published in 2015, Amendment 1:2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

IEC 60793-2-60:2025 is applicable to optical fibre types C1, C2, C3, and C4, as described in Table 1. These fibres are used for the interconnections within or between optical components systems and are optimized to support dense optical connectivity. While the fibres can be overcoated or buffered for the purpose of making protected pigtails, they can be used without overcoating. They can, however, be colour coded. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) replacement of "intraconnection" with "interconnection" and addition of the definition of "interconnection fibres"; b) modification of the nominal MFD limit of C1 fibres; c) addition of "Primary coating diameter-coloured" limits for class C fibres and change of "Primary coating diameter-uncoloured" limits for class C_80 fibres; d) change of coating strip force limits for class C1, class C2, and class C3 fibres; e) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" and revision of "Note b" in Table 6; f) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" and deletion of the "Note" in Table 8; g) addition of 200 μm coating diameter requirements for C1_125 fibres and change of coating diameters limits for C1_80 fibres in Table A.1; h) addition of 200 µm coating diameter requirements for C1_125 fibres and change of coating strip force limits in Table A.2 and in Table A.5; i) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength", modification of the "Cable cut-off wavelength" limit and addition of a new "Note" in Table A.3; j) addition of a transmission requirements at 1 625 nm and deletion of 1 310 nm for C1 fibres in Table A.4; k) modification of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" limits of C3 fibres in Table C.3; l) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" for C4 fibres in Table D.3.

IEC 60794-1-218:2025 defines test procedures to establish uniform requirements for the environmental performance of: - optical fibre cables for telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and - cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. Throughout this document, the wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units, microduct fibre units, etc. This document defines a test standard to determine the ability of optical cable elements from a cable exposed in a mid-span entry (expressed) and stored in a pedestal, closure or similar to withstand the effects of temperature cycling by observing changes in attenuation. The optical cable element bundles up single or multiple optical fibres, e.g. loose tube, tight buffer tube, or optical fibre ribbon. See IEC 60794-1-2 for a reference guide to test methods of all types and for general requirements and definitions. This first edition partially cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 60794-1-22 published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60794‑1‑22:2017: a) extension of the test method scope to apply to any optical cables with optical cable elements including loose tubes, tight buffer tubes, and ribbons, exposed in a mid-span entry (expressed) and stored in a pedestal, closure, or similar; b) modification of the test method title according to item a); c) deletion of the tube diameter requirement for the test object; d) modification of the default temperature range according to IEC 60794-1-1; e) addition of the default coiled turns in the assembly during the test.

IEC 60794-1-119:2025 applies to aerial optical fibre cables such as all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cables, optical ground wire (OPGW) cables, and optical phase conductor (OPPC) cables that can be exposed to aeolian vibrations. This document defines the test procedures to establish uniform mechanical performance requirements relating to aeolian vibrations. See IEC 60794‑1‑2 for general requirements and definitions and for a complete reference guide to test methods of all types. This first edition cancels and replaces test method E19 of the first edition of IEC 60794‑1‑21 published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60794‑1‑21: a) addition of a system to maintain a constant cable tension during the test as well as means to measure the free loop antinode amplitude; b) definition of the cable load which is now fixed to 25 % of the rated tensile strength for OPGW/OPPC, or to the maximum installation tension (MIT) for ADSS cables; c) addition of the target free loop peak-to-peak antinode amplitude to the procedure. The quality of the aeolian vibration motion is done through the average antinode d) addition of fatigue damage and ovality changes of the optical core to 4.5.

IEC 60794-1-124:2025 contains test procedures, referred to as Method E24, for evaluating the behaviour of microduct cabling (microduct optical cable, fibre unit or hybrid cable etc.) when blown into a microduct or protected microduct. This document describes two blowing track layouts: Method A consists of two mandrels and two long straight sections in between (same curvature). Method B consists of 3 mandrels. The middle mandrel forces the cable to experience both left- and right-hand bending, which is a feature of any realistic blowing route. In addition, this document describes an optional procedure to check the capability of blowing out an installed cable. This first edition cancels and replaces Method E24 of the first edition of IEC 60794‑1‑21 published in 2015 and Amendment 1:2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) addition of a blowing route (see Figure 2) which includes a change in the direction of curvature. This was achieved by introducing a third mandrel; b) addition of Annex A (Figure A.1 which shows a practical implementation of the blowing route; c) addition of Annex B which describes the so-called Crash Test; d) addition of Annex C which describes a cable blowing out procedure.

IEC 60793-2-50:2025 is applicable to optical fibre categories B-652, B-653, B-654, B-655, B‑656 and B-657. A map illustrating the connection of IEC designations to ITU-T designations is shown in Table 1. 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 class B single-mode fibres covered in this document and which are given in Clause 4; - particular requirements applicable to individual fibre categories or specific applications, which are defined in Annex A to Annex F. For some fibre categories (shown in the relevant family specifications), there are sub-categories that are distinguished on the basis of difference in transmission attribute specifications. The designations for these sub-categories are documented in the individual family specifications. Table 1 shows a map from the IEC designations to the ITU-T recommendations. This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition. a) The addition of a 200 µm coating nominal outer diameter option for B-654A, B, C fibres in Annex C
