<span style="color:red">NEW!</span>IEC 60793-1-45:2017 is available as <a href="https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/61952">IEC 60793-1-45:2017 RLV</a> which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.</br></br>IEC 60793-1-45:2017 establishes uniform requirements for measuring the mode field diameter (MFD) of single-mode optical fibre, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial purposes.  This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001. This edition constitutes a technical revision.  This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

- improvement of the description of measurement details for B6 fibre;

- correction of Equations (1), (2), (5) and (6);

- correction of Table E.1, Table E.2 and Table E.3.
