Optical fibres - Part 2: Product specifications - General (IEC 60793-2:2015)

IEC 60793-2:2011 contains the general specifications for both multimode and single-mode optical fibres. Sectional specifications for each of the four categories multimode class: A1, A2, A3, and A4 contain requirements specific to each category. Sectional specifications for each of the two single-mode classes, B and C, contain requirements common to each class. Each sectional specification includes family specifications (in normative annexes) that contain requirements for the applicable category or sub-categories. These sub-categories are distinguished on the basis of different fibre types or applications. The requirements of this standard apply to all classes. This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2007. This modification has been necessary because of the addition of new fibre categories to IEC 60793-2-10 and IEC 60793-2-50.

This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60793-1 series.

Lichtwellenleiter - Teil 2: Produktspezifikationen - Allgemeines

Fibres optiques - Partie 2: Spécifications de produits - Généralités

L'IEC 60793-2:2015 contient les spécifications générales applicables à la fois aux fibres optiques unimodales et multimodales. Les spécifications intermédiaires pour chacune des catégories des quatre fibres multimodales: A1, A2, A3 et A4 (parties de la classe de fibres multimodales A) contiennent les exigences spécifiques à chaque catégorie. Les spécifications intermédiaires pour chacune des deux classes de fibres unimodales, B et C, contiennent les exigences communes à chaque classe. Chaque spécification intermédiaire inclut des spécifications de famille (dans les annexes normatives) qui contiennent des exigences pour la catégorie ou les sous-catégories applicables. La distinction entre ces différentes sous-catégories se fonde sur les différents types de fibres ou les différentes applications. Les exigences de la présente norme s'appliquent à toutes les classes. Chaque spécification intermédiaire contient les exigences qui sont communes à toutes les spécifications de famille qu'elle regroupe. Ces exigences communes sont reprises dans la spécification de famille pour qu'il soit plus facile de s'y référer. Les essais ou les méthodes de mesure sont définis pour chaque attribut spécifié. Dans la mesure du possible, ces définitions se font par référence à une norme IEC - si ce n'est pas le cas, l'essai ou la méthode de mesure est indiqué dans la spécification intermédiaire correspondante. Cette huitième édition annule et remplace la septième édition parue en 2011. Cette édition constitue une révision technique rendue nécessaire par l'ajout de nouveaux modèles de fibre à la catégorie A1 de l'IEC 60793-2-10. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- ajout de deux nouvelles sous-catégories A3f et A3g indiquées comme étant "à l'étude", car elles n'ont pas encore été complètement normalisées au moment de la finalisation du présent document;
- modification de l'en-tête de la colonne "Ouverture numérique" du Tableau 3 conformément aux récentes modifications de toutes les spécifications de produits en multimodal A1, A2, A3 et A4 (NAff uniquement).
Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la IEC 60793-1 series .

Optična vlakna - 2. del: Specifikacije izdelka - Splošno (IEC 60793-2:2015)

Standard IEC 60793-2:2011 zajema splošne specifikacije za večrodna in enorodna optična vlakna. Področne specifikacije za vsako od štirih kategorij večrodnega razreda: A1, A2, A3 in A4 vključujejo zahteve, ki so značilne za vsako kategorijo. Področne specifikacije za oba enorodna razreda, tj. B in C, vsebujejo zahteve, ki so skupne obema razredoma. Vsaka področna specifikacija zajema skupinske specifikacije (v normativnih dodatkih), ki vključujejo zahteve za ustrezno kategorijo ali podkategorije. Te podkategorije se razlikujejo glede na različne vrste ali načine uporabe vlaken. Zahteve tega standarda se uporabljajo za vse razrede. Sedma izdaja razveljavlja in nadomešča šesto izdajo, objavljeno leta 2007. Ta sprememba je bila potrebna zaradi dodajanja novih kategorij vlaken v standarda IEC 60793-2-10 in IEC 60793-2-50.

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.
International Standard IEC 60793-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and
cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This eighth edition cancels and replaces the seventh edition published in 2011. This edition
constitutes a technical revision which was necessary due to the addition of new fibre models
to the A1 category in IEC 60793-2-10.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) addition of two new sub-categories A3f and A3g indicated “under consideration” as they
have not yet been fully standardized at the moment of finalizing this document;
b) modification of the Numerical aperture heading in Table 3 in line with recent modifications
in all A1, A2, A3 and A4 multimode product specifications (NA only).
ff
This standard is to be read in conjunction with the IEC 60793-1 series.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60793 contains the general specifications for both multimode and single-
mode optical fibres.
Sectional specifications for each of the four categories multimode fibres: A1, A2, A3, and A4
(part of the multimode fibre class A) contain requirements specific to each category.
Sectional specifications for each of the two single-mode fibre classes, B and C, contain
requirements common to each class.
Each sectional specification includes family specifications (in normative annexes) that contain
requirements for the applicable category or sub-categories. These sub-categories are
distinguished on the basis of different fibre types or applications.
The requirements of this standard apply to all classes.
Each sectional specification contains the requirements that are common to all the family
specifications that are within it. These common requirements are copied to the family
specification for ease of reference.
Tests or measurement methods are defined for each specified attribute. Where possible,
these definitions are by reference to an IEC standard – otherwise the test or
