About This Item
IEC 60874-14-3:1997 is the technical reference for connectors for optical fibres and cables, with a focus on the detail specification for a fibre optic adaptor, simplex type SC, for single-mode fibre. It is relevant when teams need a reliable compliance reference for product evaluation, documented assessment, or procurement review of optical interconnect components. For engineering and quality workflows, IEC 60874-14-3:1997 helps define a common basis for technical review, verification activities, and conformity assessment connected to SC adaptor use in fibre optic systems.
IEC 60874-14-3:1997 standard overview
This document addresses a specific connector component rather than a broad optical networking system, making it useful for focused technical validation. Based on its title, it provides a detail specification for a simplex SC fibre optic adaptor intended for single-mode fibre applications. That makes it relevant to organizations assessing connector compatibility, product conformity, and specification alignment during design control or supplier evaluation. For laboratories and compliance teams, it can support consistent technical document review and structured testing workflows.
Applications of IEC 60874-14-3:1997
IEC 60874-14-3:1997 is commonly consulted in optical fibre product development, connector qualification, and incoming inspection of fibre optic hardware. It may be used by manufacturers, test laboratories, telecom equipment suppliers, and procurement teams working with SC-based interconnection components for single-mode systems. The document is also relevant in engineering documentation packages where fibre optic adaptor selection, interface consistency, and technical compliance need to be checked against a recognized specification during product evaluation or regulatory preparation.
Why IEC 60874-14-3:1997 matters
Using a defined detail specification for a fibre optic adaptor supports operational consistency across design, sourcing, and verification activities. For organizations managing quality assurance and risk management, IEC 60874-14-3:1997 helps reduce ambiguity when comparing products, reviewing submittals, or preparing conformity assessment evidence. It can also improve testing consistency by giving teams a stable technical reference for documenting compliance, validating component suitability, and aligning procurement decisions with engineering requirements for single-mode SC adaptor applications.
