What is BS EN 61300-3-22 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 61300 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 61300-3-22 describes the procedure to measure the spring-loaded force applied to a ferrule when the plugs mate with each other during normal service. This measurement procedure is applicable to a connector plug that has a spring-loaded ferrule.
Who is BS EN 61300-3-22 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61300-3-22 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 61300-3-22 - 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 61300-3-22 describes that the device under test (DUT) is clamped, and the ferrule compression force is measured when the ferrule end face is moved to a specified position.
BS EN 61300-3-22 specifies the details which are the performance requirements as specified in the IEC 61754 series, the position of the ferrule end face relative to the mechanical reference plane of the connector, where ferrule compression force is measured, for example for LSH connectors (IEC 61754-15), the compression force shall be measured both when dimension M is compressed to 11,9 mm and to 12 mm, spring force requirements at ferrule end face position as specified in item b) of this clause, deviations from the test procedure and the type of cable, buffered fibre or primary coated fibre fitted to the connector. Using BS EN 61300-3-22 you can describe the procedure to measure the spring-loaded force applied to a ferrule when the plugs mate with each other during normal service.
