IEC 61300-3-30:2026
IEC 61300-3-30 describes a method for measuring the endface geometry of rectangular multifibre ferrules having an IEC defined optical interface. The primary attributes are fibre position relative to the endface, endface angle relative to the guide holes, fibre tip radii and core dip for multimode fibres.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) clarification of region diameter symbols;
b) introduction of x116 and x132 region of interest (ROI) to support MT-16 and MT-32 ferrule types;
c) preparation of geometry limit (GL) parameter tables for 16-, 24- and 32-fibre ferrules;
d) clarification of the neighbouring fibres definition when computing adjacent height;
e) improvement of figures in Annexes.
