Overview
EN 61754-24:2010 (identical to IEC 61754-24:2009) defines the standard interface dimensions for the Type SC-RJ connector family. The document establishes mechanical interfaces for plug, adaptor and active-device connections for duplex SC-RJ style connectors - characterized by a 2.5 mm nominal ferrule diameter and a spring‑loaded push‑pull coupling. The standard includes dimensional drawings, ferrule endface types (PC, APC 8°), interfaces for different fibre types (e.g., HCS and POF variants), mechanical coding and panel cut‑out data to ensure interchangeability and reliable mating across manufacturers.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Interface definitions: Standardized plug, adaptor and active device interfaces with labelled figures and tables for accurate mechanical replication.
- Ferrule and endface types: Specifications for PC (planar/spherical‑polish) and APC (8° angled polish) endfaces; ferrule grades and endface geometry are documented.
- Fibre type variants: Interfaces for single‑mode and various multimode/ polymer optical fibres (A3c/A3d HCS, A4a/A4d POF) are included.
- Mechanical coding & colours: Annex A describes pin/clip coding and housing colours to prevent mismating and to support keyed adaptor/connector deployment.
- Panel cut‑outs and mounting: Annex B and associated figures give dimensions for panel cut‑outs and adaptor mounting (pin gauges, grooves).
- Interchangeability tables: Guidance on which connector interfaces and ferrule types are mechanically interchangeable (see interchangeability table).
- Normative references & conformity: Cross‑references to related connector standards (IEC 61754‑4, IEC 60603‑7‑1, IEC 61076‑3‑106) and notes on patent/licensing considerations (notably a patent statement by Reichle & De‑Massari).
Applications and practical value
- Ensures mechanical interoperability between SC‑RJ connectors, adaptors and equipment from different manufacturers.
- Used in product design, tooling and manufacturing of fibre‑optic connectors and adaptors to meet industry compatibility requirements.
- Useful for network equipment vendors, optical transceiver and active‑device designers who need standard mating interfaces.
- Helps installers, test labs and procurement teams verify mechanical compatibility and select correct connector variants for telecom, FTTH, LAN/WAN and data‑center cabling.
Who should use this standard
- Connector and adaptor manufacturers
- Optical transceiver and active‑device designers
- Product engineers responsible for mechanical interfaces and panel integration
- Test laboratories, conformity assessors and purchasing/specification teams
Related standards
- IEC/EN 61754‑4 (Type SC connector family)
- IEC 60603‑7‑1 and IEC 61076‑3‑106 (electronic connector housing/mating guidance)
EN 61754‑24 is a practical reference for anyone specifying or producing SC‑RJ style fibre optic interconnects to ensure consistent, interchangeable mechanical interfaces.

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.
International Standard IEC 61754-24 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of existing
standards in this series will be updated at the time of the next edition.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
