(Main)Optical fibre cables - Part 1-1: Generic specification - General
Optical fibre cables - Part 1-1: Generic specification - General
IEC 60794-1-1:2023 applies to optical fibre cables for use with communication equipment and devices employing similar techniques. Electrical properties are specified for optical ground wire (OPGW) and optical phase conductor (OPPC) cables. Hybrid communication cables are specified in the IEC 62807 series. The object of this document is to establish uniform generic requirements for the geometrical, transmission, material, mechanical, ageing (environmental exposure), climatic and electrical properties of optical fibre cables and cable elements, where appropriate. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth 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) reorganization of the document to a more logical flow making it easier for the reader: b) expansion of the tables to include names and definitions of all documents in the IEC 60794‑x series; c) expansion of the definitions, graphical symbols, terminology and abbreviations content, with the aim of making this document the default and reference for all others in the IEC 60794‑x series; d) inclusion of updated, reorganized and expanded optical fibre, attenuation and bandwidth subclauses, with the aim of making this document the default and reference for all others in the IEC 60794-x series.
Lichtwellenleiterkabel - Teil 1-1: Fachgrundspezifikation - Allgemeines
Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 1-1: Spécification générique - Généralités
L'IEC 60794-1-1:2023 s’applique aux câbles à fibres optiques destinés à être utilisés avec des équipements de communication et des dispositifs utilisant des techniques similaires. Les propriétés électriques sont spécifiées pour les câbles de garde à fibres optiques (OPGW) et les câbles conducteurs de phase à fibres optiques (OPPC). Les câbles de communication hybrides sont spécifiés dans la série IEC 62807. Le présent document a pour objet d’établir des exigences génériques uniformes relatives aux caractéristiques géométriques, de transmission, de matériaux, mécaniques, de vieillissement (exposition à l’environnement), climatiques et électriques des câbles et des éléments de câbles à fibres optiques, le cas échéant. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a) réorganisation du document en un flux plus logique pour faciliter la lecture; b) extension des tableaux pour inclure les noms et définitions de tous les documents de la série IEC 60794‑x; c) extension du contenu des définitions, des symboles graphiques, de la terminologie et des abréviations, dans le but de faire du présent document le document par défaut et la référence pour tous les autres documents de la série IEC 60794‑x; d) ajout d’alinéas étendus, mis à jour et réorganisés sur la largeur de bande et l’affaiblissement des fibres optiques, dans le but de faire du présent document le document par défaut et la référence pour tous les autres documents de la série IEC 60794-x.
Optični kabli - 1-1. del: Splošna specifikacija - Splošno (IEC 60794-1-1:2023)
IEC 60794-1-1:2023 se uporablja za optične kable za uporabo s komunikacijsko opremo in napravami, ki uporabljajo podobne tehnike. Električne lastnosti so določene za optične ozemljitvene žice (OPGW) in optične linijske vodnike (OPPC). Hibridni komunikacijski kabli so določeni v skupini standardov IEC 62807. Cilj tega dokumenta je vzpostaviti enotne splošne zahteve za geometrijske, materialne, mehanske, klimatske in električne zahteve ter zahteve v zvezi s prenosom in staranjem (okoljska izpostavljenost) optičnih kablov in kabelskih elementov, kjer je to ustrezno. Peta izdaja razveljavlja in nadomešča četrto izdajo, objavljeno leta 2015. Ta izdaja je tehnično popravljena izdaja. Ta izdaja v primerjavi s prejšnjo vključuje naslednje pomembne tehnične spremembe:
a) reorganizacija dokumenta z bolj logičnim potekom, da se bralcu olajša branje;
b) razširitev preglednic z imeni in definicijami iz vseh dokumentov v skupini standardov IEC 60794‑x;
c) razširitev vsebine definicij, grafičnih simbolov, izrazoslovja in okrajšav, da bo ta dokument lahko privzeti in referenčni dokument za vse druge v skupini standardov IEC 60794‑x;
d) vključitev posodobljenih, reorganiziranih in razširjenih podtočk o optičnih vlaknih, slabljenju in pasovni širini, da bo ta dokument lahko privzeti in referenčni dokument za vse druge v skupini standardov IEC 60794‑x.
