UNE-EN IEC 60793-2:2019

This part of IEC 60793 contains the general specifications for both multimode and single

mode optical fibres.

Sectional specifications for each of the four categories multimode fibres: A1, A2, A3, and A4

(part of the multimode fibre class A) contain requirements specific to each category.

Sectional specifications for each of the two single-mode fibre classes, B and C, contain

requirements common to each class.

Each sectional specification includes family specifications (in normative annexes) that contain

requirements for the applicable category or sub-categories. These sub-categories are

distinguished on the basis of different fibre types or applications.

The requirements of this standard apply to all classes.

Each sectional specification contains the requirements that are common to all the family

specifications that are within it. These common requirements are copied to the family

specification for ease of reference.

Tests or measurement methods are defined for each specified attribute. Where possible,

these definitions are by reference to an IEC standard otherwise the test or measurement

method is outlined in the relevant sectional specification.

Table 1 defines the sectional specifications. The relevant family specifications are defined

within the sectional specifications as normative annexes (see Tables 2 to 5).

Annexes A and B summarize the existing fibre specifications.
