What is BS EN 61300-2-22 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 61300 is a series on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components do not require electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical conversion during their operation. BS EN 61300-2-22 describes a procedure to determine the suitability of a fibre optic device to withstand the effects of a change of temperature or a succession of changes in temperature.
Who is BS EN 61300-2-22 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61300-2-22 on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufactures
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 61300-2-22 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components?
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components are widely used by people as a promising solution for modern access to telecommunication networks. BS EN 61300-2-22 defines a procedure that is conducted in accordance with IEC 60068-2-14, test Nb. The device under test (DUT) is first subjected to one extreme temperature for a given period of time. It is then subjected to the other extreme temperature for an equal period of time.
BS EN 61300-2-22 specifies the details which are severity, initial examinations and measurements and performance requirements, examinations and measurements during test and performance requirements, final examinations and measurements and performance requirements, deviations from the test procedure, additional pass/fail criteria and relevant monitoring procedure. Using BS EN 61300-2-22 you can describe a procedure to determine the suitability of a fibre optic device to withstand the effects of a change of temperature.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 61300-2-22:2007 supersedes BS EN 61300-2-22:1997. BS EN 61300-2-22:2007 includes a technical change with respect to BS EN 61300-2-22:1997:
