Optical fibres - Part 2-60: Product specifications - Sectional specification for class C single-mode interconnection fibres
IEC 60793-2-60:2025 is applicable to optical fibre types C1, C2, C3, and C4, as described in Table 1. These fibres are used for the interconnections within or between optical components systems and are optimized to support dense optical connectivity. While the fibres can be overcoated or buffered for the purpose of making protected pigtails, they can be used without overcoating. They can, however, be colour coded. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) replacement of "intraconnection" with "interconnection" and addition of the definition of "interconnection fibres"; b) modification of the nominal MFD limit of C1 fibres; c) addition of "Primary coating diameter-coloured" limits for class C fibres and change of "Primary coating diameter-uncoloured" limits for class C_80 fibres; d) change of coating strip force limits for class C1, class C2, and class C3 fibres; e) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" and revision of "Note b" in Table 6; f) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" and deletion of the "Note" in Table 8; g) addition of 200 μm coating diameter requirements for C1_125 fibres and change of coating diameters limits for C1_80 fibres in Table A.1; h) addition of 200 µm coating diameter requirements for C1_125 fibres and change of coating strip force limits in Table A.2 and in Table A.5; i) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength", modification of the "Cable cut-off wavelength" limit and addition of a new "Note" in Table A.3; j) addition of a transmission requirements at 1 625 nm and deletion of 1 310 nm for C1 fibres in Table A.4; k) modification of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" limits of C3 fibres in Table C.3; l) replacement of "Fibre cut-off wavelength" with "Cable cut-off wavelength" for C4 fibres in Table D.3.

L'IEC 60793-2-60:2025 s’applique aux types de fibres optiques C1, C2, C3 et C4, tels que décrits dans le Tableau 1. Ces fibres sont utilisées pour les interconnexions au sein de composants ou systèmes optiques, ou entre de tels composants ou systèmes, et sont optimisées pour assurer une connectivité optique supposant une densité élevée. Lorsque les fibres peuvent être équipées d’un revêtement supplémentaire ou d’un revêtement protecteur dans le but de réaliser des fibres amorces protégées, elles peuvent être utilisées sans revêtement supplémentaire. Toutefois, elles peuvent disposer d’un code couleur. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2008. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a) remplacement de "d’intraconnexion" par "d’interconnexion", et ajout de la définition du concept "fibres d’interconnexion"; b) modification de la limite des diamètres de champ de mode (MFD) nominaux pour les fibres de type C1; c) ajout de limites pour la propriété "Diamètre du revêtement primaire - coloré" des fibres de classe C, et modification des limites de la propriété "Diamètre du revêtement primaire - incolore" pour les fibres C_80; d) modification de la force de dénudage pour les fibres de classe C1, de classe C2 et de classe C3; e) dans le Tableau 6, remplacement de la propriété "Longueur d’onde de coupure d’une fibre" par "Longueur d’onde de coupure en câble" et révision de la Note b; f) dans le Tableau 8, remplacement de la propriété "Longueur d’onde de coupure d’une fibre" par "Longueur d’onde de coupure en câble" et suppression de la note; g) dans le Tableau A.1, ajout d’une exigence de diamètre de revêtement de 200 µm pour les fibres C1_125 et modification des limites de diamètre de revêtement pour les fibres C1_80; h) dans le Tableau A.2 et le Tableau A.5, ajout d’une exigence de diamètre de revêtement de 200 µm pour les fibres C1_125 et modification des limites de force de dénudage; i) dans le Tableau A.3, remplacement de la propriété "Longueur d’onde de coupure d’une fibre" par "Longueur d’onde de coupure en câble", modification de la limite de la propriété "Longueur d’onde de coupure en câble" et ajout d’une nouvelle note; j) dans le Tableau A.4, ajout d’exigences de transmission à 1 625 nm et suppression de la longueur d’onde 1 310 nm pour les fibres de type C1; k) dans le Tableau C.3, modification des limites de la propriété "Longueur d’onde de coupure d’une fibre" pour les fibres de type C3; l) dans le Tableau D.3, remplacement de la propriété "Longueur d’onde de coupure d’une fibre" par "Longueur d’onde de coupure en câble" pour les fibres de type C4.

93 FOREWORD
94 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
95 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
96 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
97 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
98 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
99 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
100 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
101 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
102 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
103 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
104 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
105 interested IEC National Committees.
106 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
107 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
108 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
109 misinterpretation by any end user.
110 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
111 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any div
