IEC TS 62965:2016

Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Ferrule assembly and fusion splicer interface dimensions for a fusion splice on connector

IEC TS 62965:2016 which is a Technical Specification, specifies a minimum set of dimensional requirements for fusion splice on connectors (FSOCs) ferrule assemblies and the interface dimensions of splicing tools to ensure that a compliant ferrule assembly is compatible with a compliant fusion splicer. This fusion splicer interface also provides an example of the dimensional requirements for a universal holder, into which an FSOC can be mounted. This fusion splicer interface applies to FSOCs with a cylindrical ferrule of 2,5 mm diameter or 1,25 mm diameter. Keywords: FSOC, fusion splicer interface

Dispositifs d'interconnexion et composants passifs à fibres optiques - Dimensions de la férule équipée et de l'interface de l'épissureur par fusion relatives à une épissure par fusion sur connecteur

L'IEC TS 62965:2016 qui est une Spécification technique, spécifie un ensemble minimal d'exigences dimensionnelles relatives aux férules équipées pour les épissures par fusion sur connecteurs (FSOC) et les dimensions de l'interface des outils d'épissurage, afin de s'assurer qu'une férule équipée conforme est compatible avec un épissureur par fusion conforme. Cette interface d'épissureur par fusion fournit également un exemple des exigences dimensionnelles relatives à un support universel, dans lequel peut être monté un FSOC. Cette interface d'épissureur par fusion s'applique aux FSOC dont la férule cylindrique mesure 2,5 mm ou 1,25 mm de diamètre. Mots clés: FSOC, interface d'épissureur par fusion

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 Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC TS 62965, which is a Technical Specification, has been prepared by subcommittee 86B:
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86:
Fibre optics.
– 4 – IEC TS 62965:2016 © IEC 2016
The text of this Technical Specification is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
86B/3971/DTS 86B/3986/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• transformed into an International standard,
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
