Optical fibres - Part 2-50: Product specifications - Sectional specification for class B single-mode fibres

IEC 60793-2-50:2012 is applicable to optical fibre categories B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, B2, B4, B5 and B6. A map illustrating the connection of IEC designations to ITU-T designations is shown in Annex I. These fibres are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 2008, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- aligns the requirements with the relevant ITU-T Recommendations;
- adds another option to the list of alternative primary coating diameter constructions in Table 2 and subsequent family specifications;
- related modification of coating strip force in Tables 4 and 11;
- removes the jumper cut-off wavelength in Table 5;
- modifies B6 sub-categories; aligns B6-b MFD on B1.3 MFD. Keywords: information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables

Fibres optiques - Partie 2-50: Spécifications de produits - Spécification intermédiaire pour les fibres unimodales de classe B

La CEI 60793-2-50:2012 est applicable aux fibres optiques des catégories B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, B2, B4, B5 et B6. Une table illustrant la correspondance des désignations CEI par rapport aux désignations UIT-T figure à l'Annexe I. Ces fibres sont utilisées ou peuvent être intégrées dans des équipements pour la transmission de l'information et dans des câbles à fibres optiques. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition, parue en 2008, et constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- d'en aligner les exigences avec les Recommandations pertinentes de l'UIT-T;
- d'ajouter une autre option à la liste des conceptions avec d'autres diamètres possibles concernant le revêtement primaire figurant dans le Tableau 2 et aux spécifications de famille qui en découlent;
- ainsi que la modification associée concernant la force de dénudage figurant dans les Tableaux 4 et 11;
- de supprimer la longueur d'onde de coupure des jarretières dans le Tableau 5;
- de modifier les sous-catégories B6;
- d'aligner le diamètre de champ de mode de la fibre B6-b sur celui de la B1.3. Mots clés: transmission de l'information et dans des câbles à fibres optiques Le contenu du corrigendum de janvier 2014 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

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 are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publica
