Introduction

Multimode optical fiber has different geometric characteristics, transmission characteristics, mechanical properties and the environmental performance is different, so according to the refractive index profile shape and cladding/core material differences, multimode optical fibers are divided into A1, A2, A3, and A4.

Four categories.

This document is Part 1 of GB/T 12357.GB/T 12357 "Multimode optical fiber for communication" is divided into the following 4 parts.

--- Part 1: Characteristics of Category A1 multimode optical fibres. The purpose is to give the technical requirements and inspection requirements for Category A1 multimode optical fibres;

--- Part 2: Characteristics of Category A2 multimode optical fibres. The purpose is to give the technical requirements and inspection requirements for Category A2 multimode optical fibres;

--- Part 3: Characteristics of Category A3 multimode optical fibres. The purpose is to give the technical requirements and inspection requirements for Category A3 multimode optical fibres;

--- Part 4: Characteristics of Category A4 multimode optical fibres. The purpose is to give the technical requirements and inspection requirements of Category A4 multimode optical fibres.
