What is BS EN 50411-6-1 - Fibre organisers and closures to be used in optical fibre communication systems about?
BS EN 50411 is a series on fibre organisers and closures to be used in optical fibre communication systems. Fibre organisers and closures is an electromechanical device used to join electrical conductors and create an electrical circuit. BS EN 50411-6-1 contains the initial, start of life dimensional, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements that an unprotected microduct must meet.
Note: BS EN 50411-6-1 does not address the installation capability of these products which must be agreed upon between the user and supplier.
Who is BS EN 50411-6-1 - Fibre organisers and closures to be used in optical fibre communication systems for?
BS EN 50411-6-1 on fibre organisers and closures is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 50411-6-1 - Fibre organisers and closures to be used in optical fibre communication systems?
Thousands of configurations of connectors are manufactured for power, data, and audiovisual applications. BS EN 50411-6-1 defines the test the purpose of this test is to verify that a micro duct is capable of withstanding the maximum internal pressure used for blowing of micro duct cable or fibre unit. This test ensures safe operation at the test temperatures. Using water or other suitable medium increased internal pressure is used. One end of the microduct is connected to the pressure test equipment, and the other end, to the micro duct connector. Where required the second length of microduct is inserted into the connector, and a fully blocking end cap (usually metal) is fitted to the opposite open end. The pressurising device is activated, and the pressure increased at a rate of 1,8 MPa/min (18 bar/min) to the specified level. The sample is left pressurised for 30 min (unless otherwise stated in the PS). Using BS EN 50411-6-1 you can specify the initial, start of life dimensional, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements that an unprotected microduct must meet.
