What is BS EN 61753-087-6 - 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 ensure an optical function necessary for the proper functioning of the network. BS EN 61753-087-6 contains the minimum initial performance, test and measurement requirements and severities that a fibre optic pigtailed 1 310 nm upstream and 1 490 nm downstream wide wavelength division multiplexing (WWDM) passive optical network (PON) device must satisfy in order to be categorized as meeting the requirements of category O (uncontrolled environments). BS EN 61753-087-6 provides information concerning the function of the 1 310 nm upstream and 1 490 nm downstream WWDM.
Who is BS EN 61753-087-6 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61753-087-6 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 61753-087-6 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components?
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components do not require external energy input because they operate on the optical signal. BS EN 61753-087-6 defines the test in which the number of samples is to be evaluated. The samples have pigtails of single-mode fibres as per IEC 60793-2-50 type B 1.1, B 1.3, or B 6 in either coated fibres (primary and secondary) or reinforced cable format. All measurements are carried out at standard atmosphere conditions defined in IEC 61300-1 unless otherwise stated. All tests are carried out over the operating wavelength ranges of 1 260 nm to 1 360 nm, 1 480 nm to 1 500 nm.
BS EN 61753-087-6 also introduces non-connectorised single-mode bidirectional 1310 nm upstream and 1490 nm downstream WWDM devices that are used inside the PON for facilitating the transport of downstream traffic from the central office (CO) optical line terminal (OLT) with the upstream signal from the optical network unit (ONU) installed at the premises. They can also be used to combine and separate the downstream and upstream traffic at the customer for the ONU with individual transmitters and receivers as optical network terminals (ONT). Using BS EN 61753-087-6 you can provide specifications concerning the function of the non-connectorised single-mode bidirectional 1310 nm upstream and 1490 nm downstream WWDM devices.
