Full title and description

Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Connector optical interfaces - Part 3-10: Connector parameters of non-dispersion shifted single mode physically contacting fibres - non-angled, ferrule-less, bore alignment connectors. This part of IEC 61755 specifies dimensional limits for a 125 µm diameter single‑mode silica fibre optical interface and the mating alignment bore for non‑angled, physically contacting, ferrule‑less bore‑alignment connector designs.

Abstract

IEC 61755-3-10:2016 defines interface and bore dimensional limits and material suitability to ensure repeatable, low‑loss, non‑angled fibre‑to‑fibre interconnection for ferrule‑less bore‑alignment connector geometries. The document references the interconnection requirements given in IEC 61755-2-1 and identifies silica fibre material categories (C, U, E and O) per IEC 61753-1 for which the parameters apply.

Scope

This standard specifies certain dimensional limits for a 125 µm diameter single‑mode silica fibre optical interface and the corresponding alignment bore used in non‑angled, ferrule‑less, bore‑alignment connector arrangements. It is intended to ensure that ferrule‑less bore‑alignment connectors meet the fibre‑to‑fibre interconnection requirements referenced in IEC 61755-2-1 and that the silica fibre materials specified are suitable for use in categories C, U, E and O as defined in IEC 61753-1.

Key topics and requirements

• Dimensional limits and tolerances for a 125 µm single‑mode silica fibre optical interface.
• Design parameters for non‑angled, physically contacting, ferrule‑less bore‑alignment connectors.
• Compatibility with IEC 61755-2-1 interconnection requirements.
• Specification of suitable silica fibre material categories (C, U, E, O) referenced to IEC 61753-1.
• Reference dimensional interfaces to support interchangeability, alignment and low insertion loss in bore‑alignment connector implementations.

Typical use and users

Used by connector and component designers, optical fibre connector manufacturers, component test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies and standards committees when specifying, producing or verifying ferrule‑less bore‑alignment single‑mode connector interfaces. It supports product specification, design verification and interoperability assessment for products intended to meet IEC 61755 series requirements.

Related standards

IEC 61755-3-10 is part of the IEC 61755 series on connector optical interfaces and works in conjunction with IEC 61755-2-1 (interconnection requirements for physically contacting fibres), IEC 61753-1 (performance categories for fibre optic interconnecting devices) and test/assembly standards such as the IEC 61300 series (fibre optic interconnecting devices — basic test and measurement procedures). Regional adoptions (EN/IEC versions) exist where the part has been adopted as an EN/EN IEC document.
