What is BS EN 61300-2-55 - 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 is a fibre optic telecommunications technology for delivering broadband network access to end customers. BS EN 61300-2-55 describes the test procedure to measure the mounting strength of an optical adaptor or receptacle to a fixture. Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components are often referred to as the last mile between an internet service provider (ISP) and its customers.
Who is BS EN 61300-2-55 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61300-2-55 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 61300-2-55 - 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 61300-2-55 specifies test method used, A or B, sample size, detail specification of the DUT, the mating structure of the DUT and the holding fixture, panel cut-out dimensions, panel thickness, applied force and its rate of application, duration of the applied force, item and criteria of the initial examination, item and criteria of the final examination, and deviations from BS EN 61300-2-55.
The test apparatus is capable of applying an axial load to the DUT. Two methods for applying the load are shown in BS EN 61300-2-55. Unless otherwise specified, the test is performed under standard test conditions and the DUT is subjected to the test procedure according to BS EN 61300-2-55. Using BS EN 61300-2-55 you can describe the test procedure to measure the mounting strength of an optical adaptor or receptacle to a fixture.
