What is BS EN 61754-6-100- Fibre optic connector interfaces- Type MU connector family about?
BS EN 61754-6-100 is a safety standard on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components.
BS EN 61754-6-100 defines the standard interface dimensions of simplified receptacle dimensions for the type of MU connector family.
The receptacle assembly consists of a simplified receptacle housing and a simplified plug.
Who is BS EN 61754-6-100- Fibre optic connector interfaces- Type MU connector family for?
BS EN 61754-6-100 on fibre optic connector interfaces is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components
- Manufacturers of fibre optic connector interfaces
- Optical fibre technicians
- Fibre optic workers
- Testing authorities
Why should you use BS EN 61754-6-100- Fibre optic connector interfaces- Type MU connector family?
BS EN 61754-6-100 is about the type MU connector family. The parent connector for the type of MU connector family is a miniature single-position plug that is characterized by one or more cylindrical, spring-loaded butting ferrule of a 1,25 mm typical diameter, and a push-pull coupling mechanism.
- The simplified receptacles whose standard interface dimensions are defined in this part of IEC 61754, are made up of simplified receptacle housings and simplified plugs
- The simplified receptacle housings are used to retain the connector plug and mechanically maintain the optical datum target of the plugs at a defined position within the simplified receptacle housings
- A spring is not included in the simplified plug
- The simplified plug is removed with the aid of a tool
- The optical alignment mechanism of the connector is of a resilient sleeve style
BS EN 61754-6-100 contains the following standard interfaces:
- Interface IEC 61754-6-100-1: Simplified receptacles housings interface
- Interface IEC 61754-6-100-2: Simplified plugs interface
The simplified plug has a ferrule with a spherical polished ferrule end face and realizes physical contact (PC).
Overall, BS EN 61754-6-100 is useful as it assists with the fibre optic connector interfaces for the type MU connector family which can be helpful for your business.
