What is BS EN 61754-20 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 61754 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 61754-20 defines the standard interface dimensions for the type LC family of connectors.
Who is BS EN 61754-20 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61754-20 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 61754-20 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components?
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components do not require external energy input because they operate on the optical signal. entry. BS EN 61754-20 introduces the parent connector for type LC connector family which is a simplex plug connector set of plug/adaptor/plug configuration which is characterized by A 1,25 mm nominal diameter ferrule or, in the case of 1 mm OD POF, the fibre acts as the ferrule, the connector includes a single coupling latch and a ferrule spring-loaded in the direction of the optical axis, the plug has a single male key, which may be used to orient and limit the relative position between the connector and the component to which it is mated and the optical alignment mechanism of the connectors is a rigid bore sleeve or a resilient sleeve.
The drawings and dimensions provided consist of those minimum features that are functionally critical during the mating and unmating sequences of the plug with its adapter/receptacle counterpart component. The provided dimensions might cause interpretability problems with plugs not compliant with BS EN 61754-20. Using BS EN 61754-20 you can define the standard interface dimensions for the type LC family of connectors.
