Optical fibres - Part 2-40: Product specifications - Sectional specification for category A4 multimode fibres

IEC 60793-2-40:2015(E) is applicable to category A4 optical multimode fibres and the related sub-categories A4a, A4b, A4c, A4d, A4e, A4f, A4g and A4h. These fibres have a plastic core and plastic cladding and may have step-index, multi-step index or graded-index profiles. The fibres are used in information transmission equipment and other applications employing similar light transmitting techniques, and finally in fibre optic cables. Table 1 of this document summarizes some of the salient characteristics and applications of these fibres. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - harmonization of terminology within the IEC 60793-2 series; - added measurement parameters for numerical aperture and fibre geometry. Keywords: category A4 optical multimode fibres, information transmission equipment

L'IEC 60793-2-40:2015 s'applique à la catégorie de fibres optiques multimodales A4 et à ses sous-catégories A4a, A4b, A4c, A4d, A4e, A4f, A4g et A4h. Ces fibres possèdent un coeur et une gaine en plastique et elles peuvent avoir des profils de type en saut d'indice, en sauts multiples d'indice ou en gradient d'indice. Ces fibres sont utilisées dans les équipements destinés à la transmission de l'information et dans d'autres applications employant des techniques similaires de transmission du rayonnement lumineux, et finalement dans des câbles à fibres optiques. Le Tableau 1 résume certaines des caractéristiques et applications principales de ces fibres. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2009. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - une harmonisation de la terminologie au sein de la série IEC 60793-2; - l'ajout de paramètres de mesure pour l'ouverture numérique et la géométrie des fibres. Mots clés: la catégorie de fibres optiques multimodales A4, la transmission de l'information

Optična vlakna - 2-40. del: Specifikacije izdelka - Področna specifikacija za večrodna vlakna kategorije A4 (IEC 60793-2-40:2015)

Ta del standarda IEC 60793-2 se uporablja za večrodna optična vlakna kategorije A4 ter povezane podkategorije A4a, A4b, A4c, A4d, A4e, A4f, A4g in A4h. Ta vlakna imajo plastično jedro in plastično oblogo ter lahko imajo profil stopničastega, večstopničastega ali zveznega lomnega lika. Vlakna se uporabljajo v opremi za prenos informacij in drugih napravah, ki uporabljajo podobne tehnike prenosa svetlobe, ter v optičnih kablih. V preglednici 1 so povzete nekatere glavne lastnosti in načini uporabe teh vlaken.
Poleg načinov uporabe, navedenih v preglednici 1, uporaba vlaken A4 med drugim vključuje še: podporo za povezave kratkega dosega, sisteme z visoko bitno hitrostjo na področju telefonije, distribucijska in lokalna omrežja, prenos podatkov, glasovne in/ali video storitve ter napeljave vlaken za povezave znotraj enega objekta in med več objekti na mestu uporabe, vključno z omrežji LAN in PBX, video storitve, različne uporabe multipleksiranja in razne povezane načine uporabe, kot so potrošna elektronika ter industrijska in mobilna omrežja.
Za vlakna A4 veljajo tri vrste zahtev:
• splošne zahteve, kot so opredeljene v standardu IEC 60793-2;
• posebne zahteve za večrodna vlakna kategorije A4, ki jih zajema ta standard in so navedene v točki 3;
• posebne zahteve, ki veljajo za posamezne podkategorije vlaken in implementacije ali posebne načine uporabe ter so v tem standardu opredeljene v normativnih dodatkih o skupinski specifikaciji.
