DIN EN 60869-1:2013-11

This part of IEC 60869 applies to fibre optic power control devices. These have all of the following general features: - they are passive in that they contain no opto-electronic or other transducing elements; - they have two ports for the transmission of optical power and control the transmitted power in a fixed or variable fashion; - the ports are unconnectorized optical fibre tails or optical fibre pigtails with connectors. This standard establishes generic requirements for the following passive optical devices: - optical attenuator; - optical fuse; - optical power limiter. This standard is directed at manufacturers, users and testing institutes. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 412.7 "LWL-Verbindungstechnik und passive optische Komponenten" ("Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
