Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components performance standard - Part 021-2: Grade C/3 single-mode fibre optic connectors for category C - Controlled environment

This part of IEC 61753 defines C/3 minimum initial test and measurement requirements and severities which a single-mode connector/cable assembly must satisfy in order to be categorized as meeting the IEC standard category C (controlled environment), as defined in Clause A.2 of IEC 61753-1. The standard has been updated to reflect changes made to IEC 61753-1.

La présente partie de la CEI 61753 définit les exigences d'essais et de mesures et les sévérités initiales minimales C/3 auxquels un assemblage câble/connecteur unimodaux doit satisfaire, afin d'être considéré comme satisfaisant aux critères de la catégorie C (environnements contrôlés) des normes CEI définis dans l'Article A.2 de la CEI 61753-1. Cette norme a été mise à jour afin de prendre en compte des modifications effectuées dans la CEI 61753-1.

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
