What is BS EN 50377-13-2 - Connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre communication systems about?
BS EN 50377 is a series on connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre communication systems. The connector sets and interconnects component is an electromechanical device used to join electrical conductors and create electrical circuits. BS EN 50377-13-2 contains the initial, start of life’s dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a terminated and assembled Singlemode resilient alignment sleeve LX.5 PC connector set (plug/ adaptor/ plug) should meet in order for it to be categorised as an EN standard product. Since different variants and grades of performance are permitted, product marking details are given in BS EN 50377-13-2.
Who is BS EN 50377-13-2 - Connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre communication systems for?
BS EN 50377-13-2 on connector sets and interconnect components is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 50377-13-2 - Connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre communication systems?
Electrical connectors essentially consist of two classes of materials: conductors and insulators. BS EN 50377-13-2 describes the LX.5 connector that is a single position plug connector set of plug/ adaptor/ plug configuration characterized by cylindrical, spring-loaded butting ferrules of 1,25 mm nominal diameter and a latched push-pull coupling mechanism. The optical alignment mechanism of the connectors is of a resilient sleeve style.
BS EN 50377-13-2 also specifies plug, duplex adaptor, materials, dimensions, and colour and marking of the LX.5 connector. BS EN 50377-13-2 describes the performance requirement that consists of Dimensional and marking requirements, Optical performance requirements, Mechanical performance requirements, and Environmental performance requirements, using BS EN 50377-13-2 you can specify the initial, start of life’s dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements for a terminated and assembled Singlemode resilient alignment sleeve LX.5 PC connector set.
