This part of IEC 61753 contains the minimum test and measurement requirements and
severity levels that a fibre optic passive chromatic dispersion compensator (PCDC) using
single-mode dispersion compensating fibre (DCF) must satisfy in order to be categorised as
meeting the IEC standard, Category C – Controlled Environments. Generally, PCDCs are
used to reduce the magnitude of chromatic dispersion (CD) between regenerators by adding
CD to the span that has a sign opposite to the total CD of the cabled fibre and components.
The requirements cover non-connectorised PCDCs with single-mode fibre at both ends used
in single-channel transmission and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission in
single mode fibres (SMF) (IEC60793-2-50, B1/B2/B4).
