What is BS EN 61753-031-6 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?
BS EN 61753 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 61753-031-6 contains the minimum initial tests and measurement requirements and severities that a non-wavelength selective branching device (NWBD) should satisfy in order to be categorized as meeting the requirements of BS EN 61753-031-6.
The requirements also cover unbalanced bidirectional non-connectorized single-mode non-wavelength-selective branching devices, however, the specifications of unbalanced branching devices are limited to 1 × 2 and 2 × 2 devices because they are the most commonly used.
Who is BS EN 61753-031-6 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61753-031-6 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 61753-031-6 - 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 61753-031-6 cover balanced bidirectional non-connectorized single-mode 1×N and 2×N non-wavelength-selective branching devices for use in an IEC category O environment (N is the number of branching ports), especially but not exclusively used for PON application. For balanced NWBD, two attenuation and uniformity performance classes are considered: class A (premium class) which meets more restrictive requirements (i.e., for extended reach PON application) and class B (standard class) for standard application (i.e., normal reach PON application).
Performance requirements as described in BS EN 61753-031-6 gives detailed specification on dimensions, sample size, sequencing, grouping, test details and requirements of a non-wavelength selective branching device. Using BS EN 61753-031-6 you can understand the minimum initial tests and measurement requirements and severities that a non-wavelength selective branching device.
