42 FOREWORD
43 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
44 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
45 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
46 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
47 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
48 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
49 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
50 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
51 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
52 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
53 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
54 interested IEC National Committees.
55 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
56 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
57 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
58 misinterpretation by any end user.
59 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
60 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
61 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
62 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
63 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
64 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
65 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
66 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
67 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
68 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
69 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
70 Publications.
71 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
72 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
73 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
74 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
75 IEC 61753-022-02 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic interconnecting
76 devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. It is an
77 International Standard.
78 This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 61753-022-2 published in 2012.
79 This edition constitutes a technical revision.
80 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
81 edition:
82 a) included provisions for rectangular ferrule connectors;
83 b) added terms and definitions;
84 c) updated fibre naming conventions according to IEC 60793-2-10;
85 d) test severities updated according to IEC 61753-1;
86 e) added the torsion test;

IEC CDV 61753-022-02 ED1 © IEC 2025 4 86B/5007/CDV
87 f) reduced the duration of the fibre/cable retention test on reinforced cables from 120 s to 60 s
88 minimum;
89 g) removed the static side load test;
90 h) reduced the number of mating durability cycles for cylindrical ferrule connectors from 500
91 cycles to 200 cycles;
92 i) added mating durability for rectangular ferrule connectors with 50 cycles;
93 j) added Annex B for visual examination of the outer cable sheath movement of reinforced
94 cables as an additional requirement for change of temperature, cable retention and flexing
95 of the strain relief tests.
96 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
XX/XX/FDIS XX/XX/RVD
98 Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
99 the above table.
100 The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
101 This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
102 accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
103 at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
104 described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
105 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
106 stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
107 specific document. At this date, the document will be
108 • reconfirmed,
