IEC 60793-2-60:2025 RLV

IEC 60793-2-60:2025 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.

IEC 60793-2-60:2025 is applicable to optical fibre types C1, C2, C3, and C4, as described in Table 1. These fibres are used for the interconnections within or between optical components systems and are optimized to support dense optical connectivity. While the fibres can be overcoated or buffered for the purpose of making protected pigtails, they can be used without overcoating. They can, however, be colour coded. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) replacement of "intraconnection" with "interconnection" and addition of the definition of "interconnection fibres";
b) modification of the nominal MFD limit of C1 fibres;
c) addition of "Primary coating diameter-coloured" limits for class C fibres and change of "Primary coating diameter-uncoloured" limits for class C_80 fibres;
d) change of coating strip force limits for class C1, class C2, and class C3 fibres;
e) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" and revision of "Note b" in Table 6;
f) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" and deletion of the "Note" in Table 8;
g) addition of 200 µm coating diameter requirements for C1_125 fibres and change of coating diameters limits for C1_80 fibres in Table A.1;
h) addition of 200 µm coating diameter requirements for C1_125 fibres and change of coating strip force limits in Table A.2 and in Table A.5;
i) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength", modification of the "Cable cut-off wavelength" limit and addition of a new "Note" in Table A.3;
j) addition of a transmission requirements at 1 625 nm and deletion of 1 310 nm for C1 fibres in Table A.4;
k) modification of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" limits of C3 fibres in Table C.3;
l) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" for C4 fibres in Table D.3.
