Optical fibre cables - Part 1-2: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - General guidance
IEC 60794-1-2: 2017 applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunications equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. The prime objective of this document is to provide the end user with an overview about the content of different parts of the IEC 60794-1 series numbered -2X. Table 1 shows the different parts.
Table 1 – Document overview
| Test methods | IEC reference |
| General guidance | IEC 60794-1-2 |

| Methods F – Environmental | IEC 60794-1-22 |
| Methods G – Cable elements | IEC 60794-1-23 |
| Methods H – Electrical | IEC 60794-1-24 |
| NOTE Several numbers in the test method numbering sequence are missing. The reasons for these omissions are historical. To avoid confusion, the existing numbering sequence has been retained. | |
- the multiple cross-reference tables have been deleted and replaced with a higher level one related to the generic standards;
- all pertinent text from IEC 60794-1-20 has been included;
- standard optical test wavelengths have been introduced;
- this document has been streamlined by cross-referencing IEC 60794-1-1;
- the "No change in attenuation" definitions contained in IEC 60794-1-20 have been transferred to IEC 60794-1-1;
- the title has been modified to reflect the contents of the new edition.
