What is BS EN 50377-13-3 - 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. The connector sets and interconnects component is an electromechanical device used to join electrical conductors and create an electrical circuit. BS EN 50377-13-3 contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a terminated and assembled Singlemode resilient alignment sleeve LX.5 APC 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 50377-13-3.
Who is BS EN 50377-13-3 - Connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre communication systems for?
BS EN 50377-13-3 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 50377-13-3 - 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 50377-13-3 defines the LX.5 APC connector that is a single position plug connector set of plug/ adaptor/ plug configurations characterised 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 50377-13-3 describes the plug, duplex adaptor, materials, dimensions, and colour and marking for the LX.5 APC connector. BS EN 50377-13-3 describes the performance requirements of an LX.5 APC connector which include dimensional and marking requirements, optical performance requirements, mechanical performance requirements and environmental performance requirements. Using BS EN 50377-13-3 you can specify the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a terminated and assembled Singlemode resilient alignment sleeve LX.5 APC connector set.
