What is BS EN 61753-021-3 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 61753 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 61753-021-3 defines minimum initial test and measurement requirements and severities that a single-mode connector, either part of a pigtail, or part of a cord, must satisfy in order to be categorized as meeting the IEC standard category U (uncontrolled environment).
Who is BS EN 61753-021-3 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61753-021-3 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 61753-021-3 - 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 61753-021-3 describes test methods that are in accordance with the relevant parts of IEC 61300 as defined. The connectors under test are terminated onto single-mode fibre category B1.1, B1.3 or B6_a of IEC 60793-2-50:2008, depending upon the design of the connector, it will be terminated with a cabled fibre or a secondary coated fibre.
Each test defines the number of samples to be evaluated. The sample-set used for the first test is to be composed of randomly selected and previously unstressed new samples. The optical criteria for each test shall be as defined in BS EN 61753-021-3. Using BS EN 61753-021-3 you can define the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and severities that a single-mode connector.
