What is BS EN 61753-131-3 - 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 do not require electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical conversion during their operation. BS EN 61753-131-3 contains the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and severities that a mechanical fibre splice will satisfy to be categorised as meeting the requirements of single-mode fibre splice for use in uncontrolled environments.
Who is BS EN 61753-131-3 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?
BS EN 61753-131-3 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 61753-131-3 - 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 61753-131-3 for mechanical splices defines the requirements for standard optical performance under a set of specified conditions. BS EN 61753-131-3 contains a series or a set of tests and measurements with clearly stated conditions, severities, and pass/fail criteria. The series of tests commonly referred to as an operating service environment or performance category is intended to be a basis to prove the product’s ability to satisfy the requirements of a specific application, market sector or user group.
A product that has been shown to meet all the requirements of BS EN 61753-131-3 may be declared as complying with BS EN 61753-131-3. Products having the same classification from one manufacturer that satisfy BS EN 61753-131-3 will operate within the boundaries set by the performance standard. There is no guarantee that products from different manufacturers, having the same classification and which conform to the same performance standard, will provide an equivalent level of performance when they are used together. Using BS EN 61753-131-3 you can specify the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and severities of a mechanical fibre splice.
