Overview
SIST EN 61755-3-5:2007 is a European standard developed by CLC that specifies the optical interface dimensions and material properties for fibre optic connectors using cylindrical PC composite ferrules with 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm diameters. This standard focuses on single mode fibre connectors where the ferrule's fibre surrounding material is a copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) alloy. It is part of the IEC 61755 series on fibre optic connector optical interfaces, ensuring consistent performance in PC fibre-to-fibre interconnections.
The standard defines dimensional limits, alignment parameters, and material specifications required to achieve reliable optical connections with low attenuation and high mechanical stability. It serves to harmonize optical fibre connector interfaces for improved interoperability and consistent optical performance across manufacturers and applications.
Key Topics
- Ferrule Dimensions and Materials
- Defines critical dimensions for 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm cylindrical PC composite ferrules
- Specifies use of Cu-Ni alloy as the fibre surrounding material and zirconia (ZrO2) for the ferrule to sleeve contact zone
- Alignment Parameters
- Lateral, angular, and longitudinal offset requirements affecting fibre axis alignment
- Parameters include ferrule outside diameter, fibre hole concentricity, fibre cladding clearance, and fibre core orientation
- End Face Geometry
- Specifications for end face spherical radius, apex offset, and fibre undercut to ensure proper physical contact
- Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Material constants such as Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio for Cu-Ni alloy ferrules
- Contact forces required on ferrule end face for stable connections
- Performance Categories
- Ferrules suited for performance classes C, U, and O as defined in IEC 61753-1
- Optical Attenuation Compatibility
- Ensures that ferrules meeting this standard provide consistent optical attenuation performance when mated with other cylindrical PC ferrules in the IEC 61755-3 series
Applications
SIST EN 61755-3-5:2007 applies primarily to:
- Single Mode Fibre Optic Connectors using cylindrical PC composite ferrules in telecommunication and data communication networks
- Equipment manufacturers designing optical transceivers, modules, and patch panels requiring standardized ferrule interfaces
- Fibre optic interconnect devices where precise mechanical alignment and minimal signal loss are critical
- Telecommunications infrastructure employing components with PC fibre-to-fibre interconnection
- Quality assurance and testing protocols for verifying dimensional compliance and optical performance of fibre optic connectors
The use of Cu-Ni alloy surrounding the fibre core provides enhanced mechanical durability and stable thermal characteristics, making it suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor telecom environments.
Related Standards
- IEC 61755 Series: Provides comprehensive specifications on fibre optic connector optical interfaces, of which part 3-5 is a segment focusing on specific ferrule design and material
- IEC 61753-1: Defines performance categories (C, U, O) and guidance for fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components
- IEC 61755-3 (all parts): Covers other optical interface types and ferrule materials for fibre optic connectors
- Additional standards on fibre optic connector performance, testing, and interface specifications ensure interoperability and reliability in fibre optic communication systems
Using SIST EN 61755-3-5:2007 helps manufacturers and end-users achieve globally harmonized connector interfaces, ensuring high-quality fibre optic connections with optimized insertion loss, mechanical precision, and environmental stability.

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 reasona
