EN 60793-2-10:2016

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

IEC 60793-2-10:2015 is 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. Type A1a applies to 50/125 μm graded index fibre. Three bandwidth grades are defined as A1a.1, A1a.2 and A1a.3. Each of these bandwidth grades is defined for two levels of macrobend loss performance that are distinguished by "a" or "b" suffix. Those with suffix "a" are specified to meet traditional macrobend loss performance levels. Those with suffix "b" are specified to meet enhanced macrobend loss (i.e. lower loss) performance levels. Type A1b applies to 62,5/125 μm graded index fibre and A1d applies to 100/140 μm graded index fibre. Other applications include, but are not restricted to, the following: - short reach, high bit-rate systems in telephony, distribution and local networks carrying data, voice and/or video services; - on-premises intra-building and inter-building fibre installations including data centres, local area networks (LANs), storage area networks (SANs), private branch exchanges (PBXs), video, various multiplexing uses, outside telephone cable plant use, and miscellaneous related uses. 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 applicable to individual fibre types or specific applications, which are defined in the normative family specification annexes. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - addition of enhanced macrobending multimode fibres A1a.1b, A1a.2b and A1a.3b; - inclusion of the specified test wavelength and specimen length for core diameter (CD), numerical aperture (NA), differential mode delay (DMD) and threshold values for CD and NA; - addition of a specimen length for 850 nm bandwidth of A1a and A1b fibres. Keywords: optical fibre types A1a, A1b, and A1d

Lichtwellenleiter - Teil 2-10: Produktspezifikationen - Rahmenspezifikation für Mehrmodenfasern der Kategorie A1

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

IEC 60793-2-10:2015 est applicable 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. Le type A1a s'applique aux fibres à gradient d'indice de 50/125 μm. Il existe trois grades de largeur de bande, appelés A1a.1, A1a.2 et A1a.3. Chacun de ces grades de largeur de bande est défini pour deux niveaux de performances en matière de pertes dues aux macrocourbures, qui se distinguent par le suffixe "a" ou "b". Ceux qui comportent le suffixe "a" sont spécifiés de façon à satisfaire aux niveaux de performances classiques en matière de pertes dues aux macrocourbures. Ceux qui comportent le suffixe "b" sont spécifiés de façon à satisfaire aux niveaux de performances avancés en matière de pertes dues aux macrocourbures (c'est-à-dire des niveaux de perte plus faibles). Le type A1b s'applique aux fibres à gradient d'indice de 62,5/125 μm et le type A1d à celles de gradient d'indice de 100/140 μm. D'autres applications comprennent, mais sans s'y limiter, ce qui suit: - les systèmes téléphoniques de courtes distances à haut débit, les réseaux de distribution et les réseaux locaux qui transportent des données, la voix et/ou des services vidéo; - et les connexions par fibres intra ou inter bâtiment dans les locaux utilisateurs, englobant les centres de traitement de données, les réseaux locaux (LAN), les réseaux dédiés sauvegarde (SAN), les centraux téléphoniques privés (PABX), la vidéo, les différentes utilisations de multiplexage, l'utilisation d'une installation de câble du réseau téléphonique externe et les différentes utilisations associées. Trois types d'exigences s'appliquent à ces fibres: - les exigences générales, qui sont définies dans l'IEC 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 famille figurant dans les annexes normatives. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2011. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - ajout des fibres multimodales à macrocourbures améliorées A1a.1b, A1a.2b et A1a.3b; - intégration de la longueur d'onde d'essai et de la longueur d'échantillon spécifiées pour le diamètre du coeur (CD), l'ouverture numérique (NA), le retard de mode différentiel (DMD), et inclusion des valeurs de seuil pour le CD et la NA; - ajout d'une longueur d'échantillon pour la largeur de bande à 850 nm des fibres A1a et A1b. Mots clés: fibres optiques de type A1a, A1b et A1d

Optična vlakna - 2-10. del: Specifikacije izdelka - Področna specifikacija za večrodna vlakna kategorije A1 (IEC 60793-2-10:2015)

Ta del standarda IEC 60793 se uporablja za vrste optičnih vlaken A1a, A1b in A1d. Ta vlakna se uporabljajo ali jih je mogoče vgraditi v opremo za prenos informacij in optične kable. Vrsta A1a se uporablja za vlakno z zveznim lomnim likom 50/125 μm. Opredeljene so tri stopnje pasovne širine: A1a.1, A1a.2 in A1a.3. Vsaka od teh stopenj je določena za dve ravni odpornosti na makropregibe, ki ju ločujemo s priponama »a« in »b«. Stopnje s pripono »a« ustrezajo ravnem običajne odpornosti na makropregibe. Stopnje s pripono »b« ustrezajo ravnem izboljšane odpornosti na makropregibe (tj. večja odpornost).
Vrsta A1b se uporablja za vlakno z zveznim lomnim likom 62,5/125 μm in vrsta A1d se uporablja za vlakno z zveznim lomnim likom 100/140 μm.
Drugi načini uporabe med drugim vključujejo: povezave kratkega dosega, sisteme z visoko bitno hitrostjo na področju telefonije, distribucijska in lokalna omrežja, prenos podatkov, glasovne in/ali video storitve; napeljave vlaken za povezave znotraj enega objekta in med več objekti na mestu uporabe, vključno s podatkovnimi centri, lokalna omrežja (LAN), pomnilniška omrežja (SAN), zasebna telefonska omrežja (PBX), video storitve, različne uporabe multipleksiranja, uporabo zunanje telefonske kabelske opreme ter razne povezane načine uporabe.
Za ta vlakna veljajo tri vrste zahtev:
• splošne zahteve, kot so opredeljene v standardu IEC 60793-2;
• posebne zahteve, ki so skupne večrodnim vlaknom kategorije A1 iz tega standarda in so navedene v točki 3;
• posebne zahteve, ki veljajo za posamezne vrste vlaken ali posebne načine uporabe in so opredeljene v normativnih dodatkih o skupinski specifikaciji.
