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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 60793-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and
cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2003. This modification
has been necessary because of the addition of new fibre categories to IEC 60793-2-40, IEC
60793-2-50 and IEC 60793-2-60.

Part 2: Product specifications –
General
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60793 contains the general specifications for both multimode and single-
mode optical fibres. Sectional specifications for each of the four multimode categories: A1,
A2, A3, and A4 contain requirements specific to each category. A sectional specification for
all single-mode categories contains requirements common to all single-mode fibres. Within
each sectional specification, family specifications – found as normative annexes – contain
requirements for the applicable sub-categories. These sub-categories are distinguished on
the basis of different fibre types or applications.
The requirements of this standard apply to all categories. 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.
The following table defines the sectional specifications. The relevant family specifications are
defined within the sectional specifications as normative annexes (see Tables 2 and 3)

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
multimode fibres
fibres for which the photons follow a multiplicity of paths though the fibre core. An optical fibre
along whose core the radiation of two or more bound modes can propagate at the wavelength
of interest
3.2
single-mode fibres
fibres for which only one light path is followed for wavelengths greater than the cut-off
wavelength. An optical fibre in which the radiation of only one bound mode can propagate at
the wavelength of interest
3.3
core
the central region of an optical fibre, generally with higher refractive index, through which
most of the optical power is transmitted
3.4
cladding
the dielectric material of an optical fibre surrounding the core
3.5
primary coating
thin primary coating applied directly to the cladding, usually at the time of the fibre drawing, in
one or more layers, to preserve the integrity of the cladding surface
NOTE A secondary coating may be applied directly to the primary coating, of one or more fibres, to reinforce the
protection of the optical fibre during handling and cabling.
3.6
buffer
material or assembly of materials used to protect the optical fibre against physical damage
3.7
coloured coating and/or buffer
A thin coating and/or buffer applied on the primary coating and/or buffer or on the secondary
coating in order to make each fibre distinguishable by its colour
60793-2 © IEC:2007 – 7–
4 Quality assurance
It is the responsibility of the supplier to establish quality assurance by quality control
procedures which ensure that the product meets the requirements of this standard and the
subsidiary sectional specifications and family specifications. It is not intended that a complete
testing programme be carried out on every length of fibre. When the customer wishes to
specify acceptance tests or other quality procedures, it is essential that an agreement be
reached between the supplier and the customer at the time of ordering.
5 Construction of optical fibres
5.1 Category A – Multimode fibres
Fibre categories are based on g, the refractive index profile parameter.
The normalized index profile is expressed as:
( ) gxxδ −= 1 (1)
where
( ) ( ) ( )( ) ( )10

nn
nxnxδ

= (2a)
a
r
x = ( )ar ≤≤0 is the normalized radial position; (2b)
a is the core radius;
n(x) is the refractive index at normalized position x.
Table 2 – Categories of multimode fibres
Category Material Type Limits
A1 Glass core/glass cladding Graded index fibre 1 ≤ g < 3
A2 Glass core/glass cladding Step and quasi step index fibre 3 ≤ g < ∞
A3 Glass core/plastic cladding Step index fibre 10 ≤ g < ∞
A4 Plastic core/plastic cladding Step, multi-step, or graded index fibre 1 ≤ g < ∞
NOTE Attention is drawn to the index profile as stated in the detail specification. The fibre category is determined
on the basis of the material type and the g value which best fits the normalized refractive index profile, falling
within the category defined above.
5.2 Category B – Single-mode fibres
The categories of single-mode fibres currently in use are given in Table 3.
– – 60793-2 © IEC:2007 8
Table 3 – Categories of glass core/glass clad single-mode fibres
Category Type Description
B1.1 Dispersion unshifted This dispersion unshifted single mode fibre is optimized for use in the 1
310 nm region but can be used in the 1 550 nm region. Depending on
link length and bit rates, dispersion may need accommodation in the
1 550 nm region.
B1.2 Cut-off shifted This category of dispersion unshifted single-mode fibre is optimized for
low loss in the 1 550 nm region.
B1.3 Extended band This category of dispersion unshifted single-mode fibre is to extend the
range of possible transmission signals, using 1 310 nm band power
budgets, to portions of the band above 1 360 nm and below 1 530 nm.
Chromatic dispersion in this band may impose requirements either on the
maximum link length, or the need for accommodation.
B2 Dispersion shifted This dispersion-shifted single-mode fibre is optimized for single-channel
transmission in the 1 550 nm region. Multiple channels can only be
transmitted if care is taken to avoid the effects of four-wave mixing by,
for example, moderating the power levels or appropriate spacing or
placement of the channels.
B4 Non-zero
dispersion-shifted
This dispersion-shifted single-mode fibre is optimised for multiple
channel transmission in the 1 550 nm region. The dispersion coefficient
is required to be non-zero throughout the band from 1 530 nm to 1 565
nm, but may be either positive or negative. Depending on the dispersion
characteristics, multiple channel transmission may be possible at bands
either above or below the norm
