IEC 60875-1:2000

Applicable to fibre optic branching devices, having all of the following general features: -they are passive (they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements); -they have three or more ports for the ingress and/or egress of optical power which is shared in a predetermined fashion; -the ports are optical fibres or optical fibre connectors.

IEC 60875-1:2010 applies to non-wavelength-selective fibre optic branching devices which: - are passive (they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements) and - have three or more ports for the entry and/or exit of optical power which is shared among these ports in a predetermined fashion. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2000. It constitutes a technical revision. The changes with respect to the previous edition are to delete the clause of Quality assessment procedures and reconsider the constitution of this standard.
