EN 60876-1:2014

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

IEC 60876-1:2014 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; - the ports are optical fibres or fibre optic connectors. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition that was published in 2012 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - addition of definitions for the terms for "normally-on; - "normally-off" and "crosstalk"; - addition of a new Annex E. Keywords: fibre optic switches, transmission of optical power, fibre optic connectors

Dispositifs d'interconnexion et composants passifs à fibres optiques - Commutateurs spatiaux à fibres optiques - Partie 1: Spécification générique

L'IEC 60876-1:2014 s'applique aux commutateurs à fibres optiques possédant toutes les caractéristiques générales suivantes: - ils sont passifs dans la mesure où ils ne contiennent aucun élément optoélectronique ou autre élément transducteur; - ils ont au moins un port de transmission de la puissance optique et au moins deux états dans lesquels la puissance peut passer ou être bloquée entre ces ports; - les ports sont des fibres optiques ou des connecteurs à fibres optiques. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2012. Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - l'ajout de définitions pour les termes "conducteur par défaut", "isolé par défaut" et "diaphonie"; - l'ajout d'une nouvelle Annexe E. Mots clés: commutateurs à fibres optiques, transmission de la puissance optique, connecteurs à fibres optiques
