FIBRE OPTIC INTERCONNECTING DEVICES AND
PASSIVE COMPONENTS PERFORMANCE STANDARD –
Part 084-2: Non connectorised single-mode 980/1550 nm
WWDM devices for category C –
Controlled environment

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61753 contains the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and
severities which a fibre optic pigtailed 980/1 550 nm WWDM device must satisfy in order to be
categorized as meeting the requirements of category C (controlled environments), as defined
in Annex A of IEC 61753-1. The requirements cover devices with single-mode non-connectorised pigtails.
This device has three ports; 980 nm input, 1 550 nm input and common port for output of
combining 980/1 550 nm input light.
