IEC 60875-1:2024

Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Non-wavelength-selective fibre optic branching devices - Part 1: Generic specification

Standard Details

IEC 60875-1:2024 applies to non-wavelength-selective fibre optic branching devices, all exhibiting the following features:
- they are passive, in that they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements;
- they have three or more ports for either the entry or exit, or both, of optical power, and share optical power among these ports in a predetermined fashion;
- the ports are optical fibres, or optical fibre connectors.
This document establishes uniform requirements for the optical, mechanical and environmental properties. This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth 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) removal of variant and reference extensions in clause classification
b) removal of specification system in clause documentation
c) removal of interface standards, reliability standards and interlinking in clause standardization system
