Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Fibre optic spatial switches - Part 1: Generic specification

IEC 60876-1:2012(E) applies to fibre optic switches possessing all of the following general features: - they are passive in that they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements, - they have one or more ports for the transmission of optical power and two or more states in which power may be routed or blocked between these ports, and - the ports are optical fibres or fibre optic connectors. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2001. It constitutes a technical revision. The changes with respect to the previous edition are to remove quality. Keywords: fibre optic switches

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2012-08-17. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
