BS EN IEC 60869-1:2018

This standard BS EN IEC 60869-1:2018 Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. Fibre optic passive power control devices is classified in these ICS categories:

• 33.180.20 Fibre optic interconnecting devices

This part of IEC 60869 applies to fibre optic passive power control devices. These have all of the following general features:

• they are passive in that they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements;

• they have two ports for the transmission of optical power and control of the transmitted power in a fixed or variable fashion;

• the ports are non-connectorized optical fibre pigtails, connectorized optical fibres or receptacles.

This document establishes generic requirements for the following passive optical devices:

• optical attenuator;

• optical fuse;

• optical power limiter.

This document also provides generic information including terminology for the IEC 61753-05x series. Published IEC 61753-05x series documents are listed in Bibliography.
