Overview

EN 61753-052-3:2016 (adopted from IEC 61753-052-3:2016) is a performance standard for single‑mode fibre non‑connectorized fixed attenuators intended for Category U (uncontrolled) environments. Published and approved by CENELEC/CLC, this part of the IEC 61753 series defines the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and severities that a fibre optic attenuator must meet to be classified for uncontrolled conditions. The standard addresses non‑connectorized configurations only and complements the generic optical attenuator specification in IEC 60869-1.

Key Topics

  • Scope and classification
    • Defines Category U performance criteria for single‑mode, non‑connectorized fixed attenuators.
  • Test and measurement requirements
    • Specifies minimum initial tests, sequencing and grouping for qualification and reporting.
    • References the IEC 61300 series for detailed test procedures (vibration, fibre/cable retention, torsion, shock, high optical power, temperature extremes, damp heat, salt mist, dust, static side load, flexing, polarization dependent loss, wavelength dependence, transient loss, etc.).
  • Sample size and test sequencing
    • Includes requirements for sample sizes, sequencing and grouping; Annex A provides a normative test sequence for Category U attenuators.
  • Performance reporting
    • Defines the required contents of the test report and acceptance criteria tied to the defined severities.

Applications

Who uses EN 61753-052-3:2016 and why:

  • Manufacturers and design engineers - to design, validate and document single‑mode non‑connectorized fixed attenuators for uncontrolled environments (outdoor cabinets, industrial spaces, public access areas).
  • Qualification and test laboratories - to perform standardized initial testing and produce compliant test reports for product qualification.
  • Procurement and system integrators - to specify attenuator performance and ensure components meet environmental and optical reliability requirements.
  • Regulatory and certification bodies - to assess product conformity against CENELEC/IEC performance criteria.

Practical value:

  • Ensures repeatable, comparable test results across suppliers.
  • Reduces field failures by qualifying attenuators for harsher, uncontrolled environments.
  • Supports product selection and contract specifications for telecom, broadband access and industrial fibre deployments.

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 61753-052-3 has been prepared by subcommittee SC86B: Fibre
optic interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre
optics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous
edition:
• reconsideration of performance requirements.
