(Main)Optical fibres - Part 2-50: Product specifications - Sectional specification for class B single-mode fibres
Optical fibres - Part 2-50: Product specifications - Sectional specification for class B single-mode fibres
IEC 60793-2-50:2025 is applicable to optical fibre categories B-652, B-653, B-654, B-655, B‑656 and B-657. A map illustrating the connection of IEC designations to ITU-T designations is shown in Table 1. These fibres are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables. Three types of requirements apply to these fibres: - general requirements, as defined in IEC 60793-2; - specific requirements common to the class B single-mode fibres covered in this document and which are given in Clause 4; - particular requirements applicable to individual fibre categories or specific applications, which are defined in Annex A to Annex F. For some fibre categories (shown in the relevant family specifications), there are sub-categories that are distinguished on the basis of difference in transmission attribute specifications. The designations for these sub-categories are documented in the individual family specifications. Table 1 shows a map from the IEC designations to the ITU-T recommendations. This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition. a) The addition of a 200 µm coating nominal outer diameter option for B-654A, B, C fibres in Annex C

L'IEC 60793-2-50:2025 La présente partie de l’IEC 60793 est applicable aux fibres optiques des catégories B-652, B‑653, B-654, B-655, B‑656 et B-657. Une table de correspondance entre les désignations IEC et les désignations UIT-T est représentée dans le Tableau 1. 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. 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 unimodales de classe B, couvertes par le présent document, et qui sont données dans l’Article 4; - des exigences particulières applicables à des catégories particulières de fibres ou à des applications spécifiques, qui sont définies de l’Annexe A à l’Annexe F. Pour certaines catégories de fibres (indiquées dans les spécifications de famille correspondantes), il existe des sous-catégories qui se distinguent les unes des autres par leurs différences de spécifications d’attributs de transmission. Les désignations pour ces sous‑catégories sont documentées dans les spécifications de famille individuelles. Le Tableau 1 représente une table de correspondance entre les désignations IEC et les recommandations de l’UIT-T. Cette septième édition annule et remplace la sixième édition parue en 2018. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) ajout d’une option de diamètre extérieur nominal de revêtement de 200 µm pour les fibres B-654A, B, C dans l’Annexe C
