What is BS EN 61754-24 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 61754 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 61754-24 defines the standard interface dimensions for the type of SC-RJ family of connectors. The parent connector for the type of SC-RJ connector family is a duplex plug connector set of plug/adaptor configuration which is characterised by a 2,5 mm nominal ferrule diameter.
Who is BS EN 61754-24 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61754-24 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 61754-24 - 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 61754-24 describes the connector that includes a push-pull coupling mechanism, which is spring-loaded relative to the ferrules in the direction of optical axes. The plug has three male keys. Two of them in each case are used to orient and limit the relative positions between the two ferrules and the components (SC simplex connector) to which they are mated, and one key defines the general orientation of the duplex connector. The optical alignment mechanism of the adaptor is of a resilient sleeve style. For the active device interface, the alignment mechanism can be of both types: rigid bore and resilient sleeve.
BS EN 61754-24 contains the standard interfaces for the type of SC-RJ connector family to avoid mating fibre of different sizes (for silica fibres 24-1, 24-2 with the HCS interface 24-3 or with the POF interface 24-4) at least a colour coding system are applied not only on the connector but also on the adaptor side. For a higher security level, a mechanical coding shall be implemented to eliminate an incorrect fibre type mating, see in detail in addition to the interfaces defined in this connector family, the SC simplex plug connectors according to IEC 61754-4 (Interfaces 4-1, 4-5, 4-6 and 4-7) can be mated with SC-RJ adaptor connector interface 24-5 and SC-RJ active device interface 24-6. Using BS EN 61754-24 you can define the standard interface dimensions for the type of SC-RJ family of connectors.
