DIN EN 60793-2-10:2011-11

This part of IEC 60793 is applicable to optical fibre types A1a, A1b, and A1d. These fibres are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables. Type A1a fibre is a 50/125 µm graded index fibre. Type A1a.1 applies to 50/125 µm fibre, while A1a.2 and A1a.3 apply to two bandwidth grades of 850 nm laser-optimised 50/125 µm fibre. Type A1b applies to 62,5/125 µm graded index fibre and A1d applies to 100/140 µm graded index fibre. Applications include, amongst others, short reach, high bit-rate systems in telephony, distribution and local networks, voice and/or video services and on-premises intra-building and inter-building fibre installations including data centres, LANs, storage area networks, PBXs, video and various multiplexing uses, outside telephone cable plant use, and miscellaneous related uses. The responsible Committee is Subcommittee UK 412.6 "Lichtwellenleiter und Lichtwellenleiterkabel" ("Fibres and cables") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
