Overview

EN 61754-6-100:2016 (CLC adoption of IEC 61754-6-100:2015) specifies the interface dimensions for the type MU connector family for a simplified receptacle MU‑PC connector interface. The standard defines the physical geometry of the simplified receptacle housing and the simplified plug used with MU‑PC (physical contact) ferrules. It is a dimensional and intermateability standard used to ensure mechanical compatibility between MU‑family connectors and simplified receptacles.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and structure
    • Defines two standard interfaces: IEC 61754-6-100-1 (simplified receptacle housing) and IEC 61754-6-100-2 (simplified plug).
    • Includes dimensional tables, drawings (e.g., Figures 1–3) and an intermateability table showing compatible plug/receptacle sets.
  • Connector geometry
    • Parent MU plug characteristics referenced: miniature single‑position plug with typically 1.25 mm ferrules and a push–pull coupling.
    • The simplified plug uses a spherical polished ferrule endface (PC) and does not include a spring; removal requires a tool.
    • Optical alignment in the simplified assembly is via a resilient sleeve style.
  • Dimensional details
    • The standard provides precise dimension ranges for key features (examples from the receptacle interface): B diameter 2.3–2.7 mm, D 1.8–2.2 mm, H 9.3–9.7 mm, and ferrule-related dimension R 2.35–2.45 mm.
    • Pin gauge and ferrule outside‑diameter specifications are included; a table of ferrule grades (including multimode) is provided.
  • Intermateability and testing
    • Specifies that mating plugs must use the same ferrule endface shape and refers to normative tests (e.g., ferrule compression force per IEC 61300‑3‑22).

Applications and who uses this standard

  • Connector and cable manufacturers - to design MU‑family plugs and simplified receptacles that meet agreed interface dimensions and intermateability.
  • Optical transceiver and equipment OEMs - to ensure receptacle interfaces on panels, modules or PCBs accept standardized MU simplified plugs.
  • Data center, telecom and fibre‑optic installers - as a reference for compatible hardware selection.
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies - for verifying dimensional compliance and intermateability.
  • Design engineers specifying connector footprints and mechanical datums for assemblies relying on MU‑PC interfaces.

Related standards

  • IEC 61754‑6:2013 - Type MU connector family (parent interface)
  • IEC 61755‑3‑1 - Optical interface, zirconia PC ferrule specifications
  • IEC 61300‑3‑22 - Ferrule compression force test procedures

EN 61754‑6‑100:2016 provides the dimensional baseline for implementing simplified receptacle MU‑PC connector interfaces, helping manufacturers and system designers achieve reliable mechanical and optical compatibility across MU‑family products.

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 diverg
