What is BS EN 50516-3-1 - Industrial connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre control and communication systems about?
BS EN 50516 is a series on industrial connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre control and communication systems. The industrial connector sets, and interconnects component is an electromechanical device used to join electrical conductors and create electric circuits. BS EN 50516-3-1 contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which an ODVA (factory terminated) (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association) or ODVA fusion splice on connector (FSOC) terminated with cylindrical composite titanium APC ferrules with one side protected by an industrial housing, an adaptor fitted with resilient alignment sleeve and patchcord shall meet in order for it to be categorised as an EN standard product. The product is rated IP67.
Who is BS EN 50516-3-1 - Industrial connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre control and communication systems for?
BS EN 50516-3-1 on industrial 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 50516-3-1 - Industrial connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre control and communication systems?
Thousands of configurations of connectors are manufactured for power, data, and audiovisual applications. BS EN 50516-3-1 defines the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association industrial connector that is a duplex plug connector set of plug/adaptor/plug configurations with one side having a protective shell characterised by two cylindrical, spring-loaded butting ferrules of 1,25 mm nominal diameter and a twist and lock coupling mechanism. The optical alignment mechanism of the connectors is of a resilient sleeve style.
BS EN 50516-3-1 specifies plug, adaptor, materials, dimensions, and colour and marking for the construction of the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association industrial connector. The variants of ODVA industrial connector include terminated plug, adaptor, and identification of variants as per BS EN 50516-3-1. Using BS EN 50516-3-1 you can specify the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which an ODVA (factory terminated) (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association) or ODVA fusion splice on connector (FSOC) terminated with cylindrical composite titanium APC ferrules.
