What is BS EN 62664-1-1 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 62664 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 62664-1-1 contains the initial, start-of-life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a terminated and assembled multimode resilient alignment sleeve LC-PC duplex connector set (plug/adaptor/plug) should meet in order for it to be categorized as an International Standard product.
Who is BS EN 62664-1-1 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 62664-1-1 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 62664-1-1 - 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 62664-1-1 introduces the LC-PC duplex connector which is a single position plug connector set of plug/adaptor/plug configuration, characterized by cylindrical, spring-loaded butting ferrules of 1,25 mm nominal diameter and a latched push-pull coupling mechanism. The optical alignment mechanism of the connectors is of a resilient sleeve style.
BS EN 62664-1-1 contains the initial, start-of-life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a terminated and assembled multimode resilient alignment sleeve LC-PC duplex connector set (plug/adaptor/plug) needs to meet in order for it to be categorized as an International Standard product. Although all products conforming to the requirements of BS EN 62664-1-1 will inter-mate, the resulting level of random attenuation will be at a common level of performance i.e., the attenuation of a mated pair will be limited by the worst of the two connectors. This will be true, irrespective of the manufacturing source(s) of the product. A simplex plug can be connected to a duplex adaptor without degrading the level of performance. Using BS EN 62664-1-1 you can specify the initial, start-of-life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements for a terminated and assembled multimode resilient alignment sleeve LC-PC duplex connector set (plug/adaptor/plug).
