IEC 60793-2-50:2008
Optical fibres - Part 2-50: Product specifications - Sectional specification for class B single-mode fibres
IEC 60793-2-50:2008 is applicable to optical fibre types B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, and categories B2, B4, B5 and B6. A map illustrating the connection of IEC designations to ITU-T designations is shown in Annex I. These fibres are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables. The main technical changes of this edition include:- aligns the requirements with the relevant ITU-T Recommendations, including tightening the tolerances of many parameters;- adds a new category, B5, which corresponds to the fibres defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.656; and- adds a new category, B6, which corresponds to the fibres defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.657.

Applicable to optical fibre types B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, and categories B2 and B4. These fibres are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables. Three types of requirements apply to these fibres: General requirements, as defined in IEC 60793-2; Specific requirements common to the class B single-mode fibres covered in this standard and which are given in Clause 3; Particular requirements applicable to individual fibre types or specific applications, which are defined in the family specifications of Annexes A to E.
IEC 60793-2-50:2012 is applicable to optical fibre categories B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, B2, B4, B5 and B6. A map illustrating the connection of IEC designations to ITU-T designations is shown in Annex I. These fibres are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre cables. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 2008, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - aligns the requirements with the relevant ITU-T Recommendations; - adds another option to the list of alternative primary coating diameter constructions in Table 2 and subsequent family specifications; - related modification of coating strip force in Tables 4 and 11; - removes the jumper cut-off wavelength in Table 5; - modifies B6 sub-categories; aligns B6-b MFD on B1.3 MFD.
