Optical fibre cables - Part 1-1: Generic specification - General
IEC 60794-1-1:2015(E) is available as IEC 60794-1-1:2015 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 60794-1-1:2015(E) applies to optical fibre cables for use with communication equipment and devices employing similar techniques and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. The object of this standard is to establish uniform generic requirements for the geometrical, transmission, material, mechanical, ageing (environmental exposure), climatic and electrical properties of optical fibre cables and cable elements, where appropriate. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - the expansion of the definitions, graphical symbols, terminology and abbreviations content, with the aim of making this standard the default and reference for all others in the IEC 60794-x series; - the inclusion of updated and expanded optical fibre, attenuation and bandwidth sections, with the aim of making this standard the default and reference for all others in the IEC 60794-x series. Keywords: optical fibre cables, cable elements
Lichtwellenleiterkabel - Teil 1-1: Fachgrundspezifikation - Allgemeines
Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 1-1 : spécification générique - Généralités
IEC 60794-1-1:2015 s’applique aux câbles à fibres optiques destinés à être utilisés avec des équipements de communication et des dispositifs utilisant des techniques analogues, ainsi qu'aux câbles constitués de fibres optiques d'une part et de conducteurs électriques d'autre part. Elle a pour objet d'établir des exigences génériques uniformes relatives aux caractéristiques géométriques, de transmission, de matériaux, mécaniques, de vieillissement (exposition à l'environnement), climatiques et électriques des câbles et des éléments de câbles à fibres optiques, le cas échéant. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2011. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - l'extension du contenu des définitions, des symboles graphiques, de la terminologie et des abréviations, dans le but de faire de la présente norme la norme par défaut, et la référence pour toutes les autres normes de la série IEC 60794-x; - l'ajout de sections étendues et mises à jour sur la largeur de bande et l'affaiblissement des fibres optiques, dans le but de faire de la présente norme la norme par défaut, et la référence pour toutes les autres normes de la série IEC 60794-x. Mots clés: câbles à fibres optiques, éléments de câbles
Optični kabli - 1-1. del: Rodovna specifikacija - Splošno (IEC 60794-1-1:2015)
Ta del standarda IEC 60794 obravnava optične kable za uporabo s komunikacijsko opremo in napravami, ki uporabljajo podobne tehnike, ter za kable s kombinacijo optičnih vlaken in električnih vodnikov.
Cilj tega standarda je vzpostaviti enotne splošne zahteve za geometrijske, materialne, mehanske, klimatske in električne zahteve ter zahteve v zvezi s prenosom in staranjem (okoljska izpostavljenost) optičnih kablov in kabelskih elementov, kjer je to ustrezno.
