EN 61754-21:2005 - Overview
EN 61754-21:2005 (IEC 61754-21:2005) is the CLC/CENELEC European adoption of the IEC standard that specifies the standard interface dimensions for the Type SMI (Small Multimedia Interface) family of connectors used with plastic optical fibre (POF). Published in 2005, this part of the IEC 61754 series defines mechanical datums, dimensional tolerances and intermateability rules so that SMI plugs, receptacles and adaptors are mechanically compatible across suppliers.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Connector family: Type SMI - duplex plug connectors designed for plastic optical fibre.
- Critical dimensions: SMI connectors are characterised by a 5.0 mm pitch and 2.5 mm ferrule diameter (as stated in the standard).
- Plug types: Two plug coupling mechanisms are standardized:
- Push‑pull latching (Push‑Pull TYPE)
- Friction‑lock coupling (Friction‑Lock TYPE)
- Standard interfaces defined:
- Interface 1 - Plug (push‑pull)
- Interface 2 - Plug (friction‑lock)
- Interface 3 - Receptacle
- Interface 4 - Adaptor
- Dimensional tables and figures: The standard provides detailed figures (Figures 1–4) and corresponding tables (Tables 1–4) listing minimum/maximum dimensions and tolerances for each interface, datum definitions, chamfers, radii and mating features.
- Intermateability: The document specifies which plug types mate with the receptacle and adaptor interfaces to ensure compatibility.
- Document context: Part 21 is one element of the IEC 61754 series (fibre optic connector interfaces); Part 1 gives general guidance.
Applications and practical value
- Ensures mechanical interchangeability between SMI connectors from different manufacturers for POF applications.
- Used by connector manufacturers to design and dimension plugs, receptacles and adaptors to accepted tolerances.
- Used by OEMs, system integrators and product designers when specifying connector interfaces for consumer, automotive, multimedia, and short‑reach POF links.
- Supports quality assurance and test labs in verifying dimensional conformity and mating compatibility.
- Helps procurement and compliance teams reference an established interface standard when sourcing connectors and assemblies.
Who should use this standard
- Connector and cable assembly manufacturers
- Hardware product designers (consumer electronics, automotive infotainment, industrial)
- Test houses and certification bodies
- Purchasing/specification engineers and standards committees
Related standards
- IEC/EN 61754 series (Part 1: General and guidance; other parts define SC, LC, MU, MPO, etc.) - consult Part 1 and the specific connector‑family parts for broader interoperability and guidance.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 responsibl
