- they are non-reciprocal optical devices, in which each port is either an optical fibre or fibre optic connector;
- they are passive devices in accordance with the categorization and definition provided in IEC TS 62538;
- they have three or more ports for directionally transmitting optical power.
An example of optical circulator technology and application is described in Annex A and Annex B, respectively. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- harmonization of terms and definitions with IEC TS 62627-09;

Overview

EN IEC 62077:2022 (equivalent to IEC 62077:2022) is the fourth edition generic specification for fibre optic circulators. It defines the scope, classification and requirements for circulators used in fibre optics that are:

• non‑reciprocal optical devices where each port is an optical fibre or fibre‑optic connector;
• passive components as categorized in IEC TS 62538; and
• equipped with three or more ports for directional transmission of optical power.

This edition supersedes EN 62077:2016, is published as IEC 62077:2022 RLV (including a redline showing changes from the previous edition), and includes harmonization of terms with IEC TS 62627‑09 and updates to Clause 4 (requirements).

Key Topics

The standard sets out the generic technical and documentation requirements manufacturers and users should follow:

• Classification by technology, number of ports and functions, wavelength bands and interface style.
• Design and construction expectations covering materials, workmanship and safety.
• Performance requirements such as insertion loss and isolation (performance terms defined and illustrated).
• Quality and reliability provisions and recommended test/measurement procedures.
• Documentation requirements: symbols, drawings, test reports and instructions for use.
• Identification, marking, packaging and storage rules to ensure traceability and safe handling.
• Testing references and basic measurement procedures, with linkages to IEC 61300 series test methods.
• Informative annexes: Annex A (example of magneto‑optic circulator technology), Annex B (example applications), Annex C (interface style examples).

Applications

EN IEC 62077:2022 is practical for any activity involving passive fibre‑optic circulators, including:

• Component manufacturers designing and certifying circulators.
• Test laboratories performing conformance and performance measurements.
• System integrators and network equipment vendors using circulators in optical add/drop, bidirectional links, sensing systems, ring/metro networks, or isolation and routing in WDM/EDFA architectures.
• Procurement, standards and compliance teams specifying device requirements for interoperability and safety.

Using this standard helps ensure consistent performance (insertion loss, isolation), correct interface compatibility, and appropriate documentation for deployment in commercial and industrial fibre‑optic systems.

Related Standards

Relevant cross‑references in the standard include:

• IEC TS 62538 (passive device categorization)
• IEC TS 62627‑09 (vocabulary harmonization)
• IEC 61300 series (test and measurement procedures)
• Other IEC/ISO standards cited for symbols, environmental testing and geometrical tolerancing (e.g., IEC 60068 series, ISO 129‑1).

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 62077 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.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) harmonization of terms and definitions with IEC TS 62627-09;
b) change of Clause 4 regarding requirements.
