Overview

EN IEC 61753-1:2018/A1:2020 is a key performance standard issued by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC) that provides general requirements and guidance for fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. This amendment revises and supplements the original 2018 edition to enhance clarity and alignment with industry best practices. The standard applies to a wide range of fibre optic components critical in telecommunications and data networks, ensuring consistent performance, durability, and reliability across devices such as connectors, branching devices, filters, and more.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Structure: This standard forms Part 1 of the IEC 61753 series, focusing on general principles and providing guidance on performance classifications for fibre optic components.
  • Performance Standard Numbering: Introduces a structured numbering system (IEC 61753-xxx-yy) to categorize components and their environmental application categories, aiding precise specification and compliance:
    • xxx denotes the type of component (connectors, branching devices, filters, etc.).
    • yy indicates the environmental category (indoor controlled, outdoor protected, etc.).
  • Component Types Covered:
    • Connectors (02x series)
    • Branching devices (03x series)
    • Filters (04x series)
    • Passive optical power control devices, isolators, switches, WDMs, circulators, fibre management systems, closures, patch cords, and fibre splices.
  • Environmental Categories:
    • Categories range from indoor controlled environments (Category I) to harsh outdoor conditions (Category OP+ and others).
  • Guidance on Implementation: Provides a framework for manufacturers and testing bodies to classify devices by their intended operating conditions and performance requirements.

Applications

EN IEC 61753-1:2018/A1:2020 is essential for ensuring the interoperability and dependable performance of fibre optic components used in:

  • Telecommunication networks: Enables standardized device performance in core and access network infrastructure.
  • Data centers: Assures quality and reliability of passive optical components critical for high-speed data transmission.
  • Broadband and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments: Facilitates standardized components that meet environmental and operational demands.
  • Industrial and outdoor optical installations: Specifies ruggedized performance levels for components exposed to challenging environmental conditions such as temperature extremes, moisture, and mechanical stress.
  • Network operators and integrators: Provides a clear standard to specify component performance in contracts and procurement, assuring long-term reliability.

Related Standards

  • IEC 61753 Series: This amendment complements other parts in the IEC 61753 series which address detailed performance standards for specific component types within fibre optic interconnectivity.
  • IEC 61300 series: Covers fibre optic interconnecting device test procedures, complementing robustness and verification testing aligned with IEC 61753 performance classifications.
  • ISO/IEC 11801: Pertinent for cabling system standards that integrate with fibre optic components specified under IEC 61753.
  • ITU-T Recommendations: Such as G.652 for single-mode fibres, relevant for defining compatible components per IEC 61753 guidelines.
