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.
International Standard IEC 61753-059-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
86B/3553/FDIS 86B/3596/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

interconnecting devices and passive components – Performance standard, can be found on
the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

The holder of this patent right has assured the IEC that he/she is willing to negotiate
licences under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants
throughout the world. In this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right is

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights other than those identified above. IEC shall not be held
responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO (www.iso.org/patents) and IEC (http://patents.iec.ch) maintain on-line data bases of
patents relevant to their standards. Users are encouraged to consult these data bases for
the most up to date information concerning patents.
2) The optical power limiter is a passive device that regulates the optical power in fibres,
producing a controlled, constant output power P , as a result of varying input power
limit
higher than P , and has no influence at powers below P . Under normal operation,
limit limit
when the input power is low, the optical power limiter has no effect on the system.
However, when the input power is high, the optical output power is limited to a
predetermined level (P ).The optical limiter is wavelength independent over its entire
limit
specified spectral range. IEC 60869-1contains the generic information of the optical power
limiter. The optical power limiter is used at the input of power-sensitive equipment and at
the output of high power devices, such as amplifiers, or wherever power regulation is
required. The optical power limiter can serve as an eye safety device. The optical power
limiter has a maximum allowed power input P . Above this power it is dysfunctional
in max
and can let light through. Numerical values for P are given in Annex E.

Part 059-2: Single-mode fibre plug-receptacle style optical
limiter for category C – Controlled environment

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61753 contains the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and
severities which an optical power limiter needs to satisfy in order to be categorized as
meeting the requirements of single mode fibre plug-receptable style optical limiter used in
controlled environments. IEC 60869-1, contains the generic specification of the optical limiter.
Optical performances specified in this standard relate to plug-receptacle style configurations
optical power limiters only.
