NON-WAVELENGTH-SELECTIVE FIBRE OPTIC
BRANCHING DEVICES –
Part 1: Generic specification
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60875-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 1996, and constitutes a
technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
86B/1361/FDIS 86B/1401/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The QC number that appears on the front cover of this publication is the specification number
in the IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components (IECQ).

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged
until 2008. At this date, the publication will be
reconfirmed;
withdrawn;
replaced by a revised edition, or
amended.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 60875 is divided into three clauses:
1 General
2 Requirements
3 Quality assessment procedures
The first clause contains general information pertaining to this generic specification.
The second clause contains all the requirements to be met by branching devices covered by
this standard. These include classification, IEC specification system, documentation, materials,
workmanship, quality, performance, identification, and packaging.
The third clause contains those procedures which need to be followed for proper quality
assessment of products as covered by this standard.
NOTE Test and measurement procedures are described in IEC 61300-1, IEC 61300-2 and IEC 61300-3.

1 General
1.1 Scope
This part of IEC 60875 applies to non-wavelength-selective fibre optic branching devices, all

– they have three or more ports for the entry and/or exit of optical power, and share optical
power among these ports in a predetermined fashion;
– the ports are optical fibres, or optical fibre connectors.
This standard establishes uniform requirements for the following:
– branching devices requirements;
– quality assessment procedures.
1.2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this part of IEC 60875. For dated references, subsequent amendments
to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements
based on this part of IEC 60875 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the
most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the
latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

1.3.4
splitter
term frequently used as a synonym for a non-wavelength-selective branching device
NOTE The term is also used to define a structure for transferring optical power between two fibres or between an
active device and a fibre.
1.3.5
balanced splitter
splitter designed and intended to produce equal optical power at the output ports
1.3.6
unbalanced splitter
splitter designed and intended to produce different optical power at the output ports
1.3.7
transfer matrix
optical properties of a non-wavelength-selective optic branching device can be defined in terms
of an n × n matrix of coefficients, n being the number of ports, with the coefficients
representing the fractional optical power transferred between designated ports
In general, the transfer matrix T is as follows:
t t ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ t
⎡ ⎤
11 12 1n
⎢ ⎥
t
21
⎢ ⎥
⋅
⎢ ⎥
T =
⎢⋅ t ⎥

⎢ ⎥

⎢ ⎥

⎣ ⎦
where
t is the ratio of the optical power P transferred out of port j with respect to input power P
i
ij ij
into port i, that is:
t = P /P
i
ij ij
The transfer matrix is used to classify the different types of non-wavelength-selective
branching devices which are specified in this generic specification.
In a non-wavelength-selective branching device, the coefficients t may be a function of the
ij
input wavelength, input polarization or modal power distribution. The values of these
parameters are provided in the detail specification, when necessary.
Single-mode, non-wavelength-selective branching devices may operate in a coherent fashion
with respect to multiple inputs. Consequently, the transfer coefficients may be affected by the
relative phase and intensity of simultaneous coherent optical power inputs at two or more ports.

2 Requirements
The requirements for non-wavelength-selective branching devices covered by this clause are

2.1 Classification
Non-wavelength-selective branching devices shall be classified as follows:
– type;
–style;
– variant;

– non wavelength-selective reflective and transmissive star.
The main characteristics of each type are as follows:
– transmissive or reflective;

– any combination of the above.
2.1.2 Style
Non-wavelength-selective branching devices may be classified into styles based on the fibre
type(s), the connector type(s), cable type(s), housing shape, and the configuration. The
configuration of branching device ports are classified as follows:
Configuration A
Device containing integral fibre optic pigtails, without connectors.
