What is BS EN 60874-1-1 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 60874 is a series on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components ensure an optical function necessary for the proper functioning of the network. BS EN 60874-1-1 is not, by itself, a specification. BS EN 60874-1-1 is part of the generic specification IEC 60874-1, Fibre Optic Interconnecting Devices and Passive Components – Connectors for optical fibres and cables – Part 1: Generic specification. BS EN 60874-1-1 includes:
- A blank worksheet with instructions for preparing detailed specifications.
Who is BS EN 60874-1-1 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 60874-1-1 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 60874-1-1 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components?
The main advantage of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is that they do not require the input of external energy because they operate on the optical signal. BS EN 60874-1-1 specifies the qualification approval procedure to be used (either the fixed sample or the lot-by-lot and periodic procedure may be used).
BS EN 60874-1-1 also includes the mandatory test schedules for qualification by the fixed sample procedure of the detail specification worksheet. The quality conformance inspection specifies lot-by-lot inspection and periodic inspection which is defined in the detail specification worksheet. Using BS EN 60874-1-1 you can understand a blank worksheet with instructions for preparing detailed specifications on connectors for optical fibres and cables.
