Overview

EN 61753-041-2:2014 (IEC 61753-041-2:2014) defines minimum initial performance, test and measurement requirements and severities for a fibre optic non-connectorized OTDR reflecting device used with an optical time‑domain reflectometer (OTDR). The standard covers devices intended for monitoring point‑to‑point (PTP) and point‑to‑multipoint (PTMP) passive optical networks (PON) and specifies the criteria to qualify such devices for category C (controlled environments) as defined in IEC 61753‑1:2007. It is a performance standard for manufacturers, test labs and network operators that need consistent, repeatable OTDR monitoring components for controlled environments (e.g., central offices, test labs, manufacturing).

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Scope and applicability: non‑connectorized single‑mode OTDR reflecting devices for PTP and PTMP PON monitoring using OTDR.
  • Performance requirements: minimum initial optical and mechanical performance characteristics and acceptable variances (test severities are defined rather than arbitrary pass/fail thresholds).
  • Test and measurement procedures: references and alignment with the IEC 61300 series (basic test and measurement procedures) for vibration, shock, temperature, damp heat, wavelength dependence, etc.
  • Sample size and reporting: guidance on required sample sizes for tests and mandatory content of test reports.
  • Mechanical and dimensional constraints: reference component definitions and dimensional requirements for non‑connectorized integration.
  • Informative annexes: practical information and diagrams for OTDR reflecting device functional principles and integration methods (examples include WDM, FBG, thin‑film filters (TFF), waveguides, collimators and non‑wired back‑door approaches).

Applications

  • PON network monitoring: Enables reliable OTDR-based fault localization and health monitoring in both PTP and PTMP architectures.
  • Manufacturing and QA: Provides test criteria and procedures for factory acceptance testing of OTDR reflecting devices.
  • Integration into central office equipment: Ensures components used in controlled environments meet standardized performance levels for long-term OTDR monitoring.
  • Test laboratories and compliance: Used to validate device performance against recognized international criteria before deployment.

Who should use this standard

  • Manufacturers of OTDR reflecting devices and passive optical components
  • Test houses and certification bodies performing performance verification
  • Network equipment vendors and PON operators specifying monitoring components
  • Procurement teams requiring standardized performance metrics for controlled environments

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
