FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61300-3-24 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1999. It constitutes a
technical revision. Specific technical changes since the first edition include the addition of
specifications for the apparatus dynamic range, detector linearity and polarizer/analyzer
extinction ratio, an alternative expression of total extinction ratio, and revision of Annex A.

Keying accuracy of optical connectors for
polarization maintaining fibre

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61300 provides a method to measure the keying accuracy of a polarization
maintaining fibre connector.
2 General description
Optical fibre connectors for polarization maintaining fibre (PMF) shall align the birefringence
axes of the two mating fibres. The keying accuracy of PM connector plugs should be specified
to realize PMF connection with high extinction ratio propagation (see annex A). The extinction
ratio of PMF itself is generally over 40 dB for fibres several metres in length.
The extinction ratio achieved with the PMF connectors is lower than that due to the PM fibre
alone because of the following reasons:
a) in the termination: after the PM fibre has been terminated into the ferrule, some residual
stress causes the extinction ratio to decrease;
b) angular misalignment of the axes of birefringence: the angular misalignment of the
polarization axes at the connection point affects the extinction rati
