DIN EN 60875-1:2002-02

The document applies to non-wavelength-selective fibre optic branching devices. These have all of the following general features: they are passive, in that they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements; they have three or more ports for the entry and/or exit of optical power and share optical power among these ports in a predetermined fashion; the ports are optical fibres, or optical fibre connectors. The document establishes uniform requirements for branching devices requirements and for quality assessment procedures and branching devices requirements.
