– they are passive in that they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements;
– they have one or more ports for the transmission of optical power and two or more states
in which power may be routed or blocked between these ports;
– the ports are optical fibres or fibre optic connectors.

- ils sont passifs dans la mesure où ils ne contiennent aucun élément optoélectronique ou autre élément transducteur;
- ils ont au moins un port de transmission de la puissance optique et au moins deux états dans lesquels la puissance peut passer ou être bloquée entre ces ports;
- les ports sont des fibres optiques ou des connecteurs à fibres optiques. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2012. Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:

FIBRE OPTIC INTERCONNECTING DEVICES
AND PASSIVE COMPONENTS –
FIBRE OPTIC SPATIAL SWITCHES –

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 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 60876-1 has been prepared by subcommittee SC86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition that was published in 2012 and
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) addition of definitions for the terms for "normally-on; "normally-off" and "crosstalk";
b) addition of a new Annex E.

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60050-731, together
with the following, apply.
3.1 Basic terms and definitions
3.1.1
port
optical fibre or fibre optic connector attached to a passive component for the entry and/or exit
of optical power
3.1.2
transfer matrix
optical properties of a fibre optic switch can be defined in a n × n matrix of coefficients (n is
the number of ports)
Note 1 to entry: The T matrix represents the on-state paths (worst-case transmission) and the T° matrix
represents the off-state paths (worst-case isolation).
3.1.3
transfer coefficient
element t or t° of the transfer matrix
ij ij
Note 1 to entry: Each transfer coefficient t is the worst-case (minimum) fraction of power transferred from port i
ij
to port j for any state with path ij switched on. Each coefficient t° is the worst-case (maximum) fraction of power
ij
transferred from port i to port j for any state with path ij switched off.
3.1.4
logarithmic transfer matrix
a = –10 log t
ij 10 ij
where
a is the optical power reduction in decibels out of port j with unit power into port i, i.e.

ij
t is the transfer coefficient
ij
Note 1 to entry: Similarly, for the off state, a° = –10 log t° .
ij 10 ij
3.1.5
switch state
particular optical configuration of a switch, whereby optical power is transmitted or blocked
between specific ports in a predetermined manner
3.1.6
actuation mechanism
physical means (mechanical, electrical, acoustic, optical, etc.) by which a switch is designed
to change between states
3.1.7
actuation energy
input energy required to place a switch in a specific state

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST EN 60876-1:2015
– 8 – IEC 60876-1:2014 © IEC 2014
3.1.8
blocking
inability to establish a connection from a free input port to a free output port due to the
existence of some other established connection
Note 1 to entry: Blocking and various degrees of non-blocking operation functionalities are of various types:
“Strict-sense non-blocking” refers to a switch matrix in which it is always possible to establish a connection
between any free input port and any free output port, irrespective of previously established connections.
“Wide-sense non-blocking” refers to a matrix in which it is always possible to establish a desired connection
provided that some systematic procedure is followed in setting up connections. Some multistage switching
architectures fall into this category.
“Rearrangeably non-blocking” refers to a switch matrix in which any free input port can be connected to any free
output port provided that other established connections are unconnected and then reconnected as part of making
the new connection.
3.1.9
normally on
condition where a port pair is in a conducting state when there is no actuation energy applied
for a non-latching switch
3.1.10
normally off
condition where a port pair is in an isolated state when there is no actuation energy applied
for a non-latching switch
3.2 Component definitions
3.2.1
optical switch
passive component processing one or more ports which selectively transmits, redirects or
blocks optical power in an optical fibre transmission line
3.2.2
latching switch
switch that maintains its last state and specified performance level when the actuation energy
which initiated the change is removed
3.2.3
non-latching switch
switch that reverts to a home state or undefined state when the actuation energy which
initiated a change is removed
3.2.4
magneto-optic effect switch
MO switch
optical switch which uses the magneto-optic effect (phenomenon of polarization state change
in transmitted light and reflected light due to a magnetic field)
Note 1 to entry: Annex A shows an example of magnet-optic effect swich technologies.
3.2.5
mechanical switch
optical switch which realises the switching function by driving of the movable part
Note 1 to entry: Annex B shows an example of mechanical swich technologies.
