Overview

EN IEC 61753-101-03:2021 is the CLC-adopted performance standard for fibre management systems (FMS) intended for category OP - Outdoor Protected environment. It specifies the minimum tests, test severities and measurement requirements that an FMS must meet to be classified under IEC 61753 category OP. The standard defines required optical performance under specified environmental and mechanical conditions and provides pass/fail criteria to demonstrate suitability for outdoor protected installations.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and purpose: Establishes a consistent test regime (operating service environment / performance category) to prove product capability for a target application or market sector.
• Test program: Lists mandatory test types and sequences, including climatic, mechanical and functional evaluations. Normative references include IEC 61300 series (vibration, shock, assembly/disassembly, static side load, damp heat, transient loss, visual and active attenuation measurements), IEC 60068, IEC 60794 and ISO 4892-3 for UV exposure.
• Sample construction and configuration: Annex A defines test sample variants (e.g., splices only; splices plus connectors) and fibre types for use in tests.
• Preparation and reporting: Requirements for sample preparation, sample size, test procedures, measurement methods and the required content of test reports.
• Pass/fail criteria and performance levels: Clear acceptance criteria and performance requirements for category OP installations (see Tables of pass/fail and performance requirements).
• Practical product requirements: Guidance on storage, transportation, packaging, installation/intervention, marking/identification, materials and safety provisions.

Applications and who uses this standard

EN IEC 61753-101-03:2021 is used by:

• Manufacturers of fibre management systems, closures, splice trays and outdoor enclosures to design and validate products for outdoor protected environments.
• Test laboratories performing conformity and type testing against IEC 61753 category OP severities.
• Network operators, system integrators and procurement teams who need objective, repeatable criteria to specify or accept FMS hardware for outside-plant (OSP) deployments in shelters, cabinets and other protected outdoor sites.
• Certification bodies and standards committees assessing compliance and interoperability.

Practical applications include qualification of outdoor splice closures, fibre management cabinets, OSP enclosures and installation accessories where long‑term optical performance under environmental and mechanical stress must be proven.

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.
IEC 61753-101-03 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic interconnecting
devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. It is an
International Standard.

3.1
excursion loss
change in optical attenuation during the slow variations of environmental parameters
Note 1 to entry: Excursion loss is the ± deviation from the original value of the transmitted power at the start of the
test.
3.2
fibre management system
system to control, protect and store splices, connectors, passive optical components and fibres
from incoming to outgoing cables
Note 1 to entry: A fibre management system is intended for installation within a protective housing.
Note 2 to entry: A fibre management system is often called an "organiser".

3.3
intervention
gain access to modify, add, remove or repair fibre circuits, splices, connectors or other
components between the incoming and outgoing cables of an existing fibre management system
3.4
installation
activities and handling operations to establish and install a protective housing including the
cables or by adding new circuits, splices, connectors and other components
3.5
installation conditions
circumstances that are fulfilled for an installation, including environmental conditions, size
interface between the protective housing and the fibre management system, optical
performance, additional/special conditions and safety requirements
3.6
multiple element
physical fibre separation level consisting of more than one single element
Note 1 to entry: This separation level has fibres from multiple cable elements on one splice tray and is also called
mass storage. It is the lowest (worst) degree of physical circuit separation.
[SOURCE: IEC 61756-1:2019, 3.1.3]
3.7
multiple ribbon
multiple element consisting of multiple optical fibres (circuits) arranged in ribbons (fibres in
parallel) which are also arranged (for example, in stacks)
[SOURCE: IEC 61756-1:2019, 3.1.5]
3.8
single circuit
physical fibre separation level where the optical circuit consists of one fibre (single fibre), or
more than one fibre, providing all services for one subscriber
Note 1 to entry: This fibre separation level has the fibre(s) of only one customer on one splice tray. It is the highest
(best) degree of physical circuit separation.
[SOURCE: IEC 61756-1:2019, 3.1.7]
3.9
single element
physical fibre separation level in the cable subassembly comprising one or more optical fibres
inside a common covering
Note 1 to entry: A single element provides services to more than one subscriber.
Note 2 to entry: This fibre separation level has all fibres from a cable element (e.g. loose tube) on one splice tray.
It is an intermediate degree of physical circuit separation (between single circuit and multiple element).
Note 3 to entry: Optical fibres in a common covering can be in a tube or inside one groove of a grooved cable
(slotted core cable).
