Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Fibre optic fan-outs - Part 1: Generic specification (IEC 61314-1:2009)

This part of IEC 61314 specifies requirements for fan-outs used in the fibre optics field to provide a safe transition from multifibre cable units to individual fibres or cables. This standard does not cover test and measurement procedures, which are described in IEC 61300-1, in IEC 61300-2 and IEC 61300-3 series.

La CEI 61314-1:2009 spécifie les exigences pour les systèmes d'éclatement utilisés dans le domaine des fibres optiques pour fournir une transition sûre entre les unités de câbles multifibres et les fibres et câbles individuels. Les principales modifications par rapport à l'édition précédente sont indiquées ci-dessous:  - la classification a été réexaminée;  - la norme d'interface optique a été ajoutée au système de normalisation.  Les normes futures de cette série porteront dorénavant le nouveau titre général cité ci-dessus. Le titre des normes existant déjà dans cette série sera mis à jour lors d'une prochaine édition.

FIBRE OPTIC INTERCONNECTING

FIBRE OPTIC FAN-OUTS –

Part 1: Generic specification


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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
International Standard IEC 61314-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005 and constitutes a
technical revision.
The specific technical changes from the previous edition are as follows:
– classification was reconsidered;
– optical interface standard was added to standardisation system.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST EN 61314-1:2009
61314-1 © IEC:2009 – 7 –
– arrangement;
– variant;
– assessment level.
4.1.1 Style
Fan-out style shall be classified by the following categories:

– category of fibres/cables in accordance with IEC 60793-1-1 and IEC 60794-1-1;
– length of fibres/cables.
4.1.2 Arrangement
The fan-out arrangement shall define the delivered fan-out form.
Examples of fan-out arrangements:
– kit arrangement;
– pigtail (one side connectorised) arrangement;
– patchcord (both sides connectorised) arrangement.
4.1.3 Variant
The fan-out variants define the variety of structurally similar components. Examples of feature
variables which create variants include:
– number of fibres or channels;
– fibre or cable sizes;
– transition box dimensions
– mounting/fixing schemes.
4.1.4 Normative reference extensions
Normative reference extensions are used to identify integrated independent standards,
specifications or other reference documents in other relevant specifications.
Unless specified exception is noted, additional requirements imposed by an extension are
mandatory. Usage is primarily intended to merge associated components to form hybrid
devices, or integrated functional application requirements that are dependent on technical
expertise other than fibre optics.
Published reference documents produced by ITU, consistent with the scope statements of the
relevant IEC specification series may be used as extensions. Published documents produced
by other regional standardisation bodies such as TIA, ETSI, JIS, etc., may be referenced in a
bibliography, attached to the generic specification.
Some optical fibre splice configurations require special qualification provisions which shall not
be imposed universally. This accommodates individual component design configurations,
specialised field tooling or specific application processes. In this case, requirements are
necessary to assure repeatable performance or adequate safety, and provide additional
guidance for complete product specification. These extensions are mandatory whenever used
to prepare, assemble or install an optical fibre splice either for field application usage or
preparation of qualification test specimens. The relevant specification shall clarify all
stipulations. However, design and style-dependent extensions shall not be imposed
universally.
In the event of conflicting requirements, precedence, in descending order, shall be: generic
over mandatory extension, over blank detail, over detail, over application specific extension.
Examples of optical connector extensions are given as follows:
• using IEC 61754-4 and IEC 61754-20 to partially define a future IEC 60874 specification
for a duplex type “SC”/”LC” hybrid connector adapter;
• using IEC 61754-13 and IEC 60869-1 to partially define a future IEC 60874 specification
for an integrated type ”FC” attenuated optical connector;

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

SIST EN 61314-1:2009
61314-1 © IEC:2009 – 9 –
• using IEC 61754-20 and IEC 61073-1 to partially define a future IEC 60874 specification
for a duplex “LC” receptacle incorporating integral mechanical splices.
Other examples of requirements for normative extensions are:
a) Some commercial or residential building applications may require direct reference to
specific safety codes and regulations or incorporate other specific material flammability or
toxicity requirements for specialised locations.
b) Specialised field tooling may require an extension to implement specific ocular safety,
electrical shock, burn hazard avoidance requirements, or require isolation procedures to
prevent potential ignition of combustible gases.
4.2 Documentation
4.2.1 Symbols
Graphical and letter symbols shall, whenever possible, be taken from IEC 60027, IEC 60617
and IEC/TR 61930.
