What is BS EN 61300-2-35 - 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 is a fibre technology telecommunications technology for delivering broadband network access to end customers.
BS EN 61300-2-35 details procedures for determining the suitability of a fibre optic device to withstand nutation that may occur during operation, service, storage and/or transport. The test is intended to indicate the performance of such devices when exposed to torsion and bending as a combined load.
Who is BS EN 61300-2-35 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61300-2-35 on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 61300-2-35 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components?
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components architecture implement a point-to-multipoint topology in which a single optical fibre serves multiple endpoints by using unpowered (passive) fibre optic splitters to divide the fibre bandwidth among the endpoints. 
The purpose of environmental testing is to demonstrate that the DUT, under defined environmental conditions, is able to survive without irreversible or reversible failures according to the requirements. The specimen is placed on the apparatus and subjected to a flexing rotation which is maintained at a given temperature and relative humidity for a specified duration, as specified in BS EN 61300-2-35.
The details, as applicable, specified in BS EN 61300-2-35 are a description of the DUT, cable type, tensile force, deflection angle, a number of cycles, specific mounting structures, specimen optically functioning, initial examinations and measurements and performance requirements, examinations and measurements during test and performance requirements, final examinations and measurements and performance requirements, deviations from test procedure and additional pass/fail criteria. Using BS EN 61300-2-35 you can determine the suitability of a fibre optic device to withstand nutation that may occur during operation, service, storage and/or transport.
