IEC 60793-2-50-2015 pdf download.Optical fibres – Part 2-50: Product specifications – Sectional specification for class B single-mode fibres.
This part of IEC 60793 is applicable to optical fibre categories B1 .1 , B1 .2, B1 .3, B2, B4, B5 and B6. A map illustrating the connection of IEC designations to ITU-T designations is shown in Annex I. These fibres are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables.
Three types of requirements apply to these fibres:
– general requirements, as defined in IEC 60793-2;
– specific requirements common to the class B single-mode fibres covered in this standard and which are given in Clause 5;
– particular requirements applicable to individual fibre categories or specific applications, which are defined in Annexes A to G.
For some fibre categories (shown in the relevant family specifications), there are subcategories that are distinguished on the basis of difference in transmission attribute specifications. The designations for these sub-categories are documented in the individual family specifications.
