What is BS EN 61755-3-10 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 61755 is a series on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is a fibre optic telecommunications technology for delivering broadband network access to end customers. BS EN 61755-3-10 defines certain dimensional limits of a 125 μm diameter single-mode silica fibre optical interface and an alignment bore to meet specific requirements for nonangled fibre-to-fibre interconnection. The silica fibre materials specified in BS EN 61755-3-10 are suitable for use in categories C, U, E and O.

Why should you use BS EN 61755-3-10 - 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. BS EN 61755-3-10 discusses the performance of a ferrule-less optical interface that is determined by the accuracy with which the optical datum targets of two mating fibres are aligned with each other. There are three conditions affecting the alignment of two optical datum targets: lateral offset, angular offset, and longitudinal offset.
Parameters influencing the lateral and angular offset of the optical fibre axes of this interface include the fibre cladding diameter, alignment bore diameter, length of the bore and fibre core location relative to the fibre cladding diameter centerline. Parameters influencing the optical fibre end face deformation requirements to maintain the physical contact of two mated connectors to which BS EN 61755-3-10 applies are end face spherical radius, end face angle, fibre tip diameter, axial force on the fibre end face and fibre material physical constants. Using BS EN 61755-3-10 you can define certain dimensional limits of a 125 μm diameter single-mode silica fibre optical interface and an alignment bore to meet specific requirements for nonangled fibre-to-fibre interconnection.
