This part of IEC 60793-2 is applicable to optical fibres type A2a, A2b, and A2c. These fibres
are used or can be incorporated in information transmission equipment and optical fibre
cables (typically up to 2 km).
Three types of requirements apply to these fibres:
– general requirements as defined in IEC 60793-2;
– specific requirements common to the category A2 multimodal fibres covered in this
standard and which are given in Clause 3;
– particular requirements applicable to individual fibre types or specific applications, which
are defined in the normative family specification annexes.
