IEC 60793-2-40 Ed. 5.0 b – Optical fibres – Part 2-40: Product specifications – Sectional specification for category A4 multimode fibres

IEC 60793-2-40:2021 is applicable to category A4 optical multimode fibres and the related sub-categories A4a, A4b, A4c, A4d, A4e, A4f, A4g and A4h. These fibres have a plastic core and plastic cladding and may have step-index, multi-step index or graded-index profiles. The fibres are used in information transmission equipment and other applications employing similar light transmitting techniques, and finally in fibre optic cables. Table 1 of this document summarizes some of the salient characteristics and applications of these fibres.
