This part of IEC 60793 contains the general specifications for both multimode and single-mode optical fibres.

Sectional specifications for each of the four categories of multimode fibres: A1, A2, A3, and A4 (part of the multimode fibre class A) contain requirements specific to each category.

Sectional specifications for each of the three single-mode fibre classes, B, C and D contain requirements common to each class.

Each sectional specification includes family specifications (in normative annexes) that contain requirements for the applicable category or sub-categories. These sub-categories are distinguished on the basis of different fibre types or applications.

The requirements of this document apply to all classes.
