Connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre communication systems - Product specifications - Part 16-1: Type LF3 APC simplex terminated on IEC 60793-2-50 category B1.1 and B1.3 singlemode fibre with titanium composite ferrule for category C

1.1 Product definition This European Standard contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical and environmental performance requirements which a terminated and assembled singlemode resilient alignment sleeve LF3 APC 8° simplex connector set (plug-adaptor-plug), adaptor and patchcord will meet in order for it to be categorised as an EN standard product. Since different variants and grades of performance are permitted, product marking details are given in 3.5. 1.2 Intermateability Although all products conforming to the requirements of this European Standard will intermate, the resulting level of random attenuation performance will only be ensured in accordance with Table 1. The intention is that this will be true irrespective of the manufacturing source(s) of the product. When intermating plug variants having different attenuation grades, the resulting level of attenuation cannot be assured to be any better than the worst attenuation grade. The intermating of a grade C plug with a grade B plug will result in an uncertain level of random attenuation performance. 1.3 Operating environment The tests selected combined with the severities and durations are representative of a Category C environment as defined in EN 61753-1. 1.4 Reliability Whilst the anticipated service life expectancy of the product in this environment is 20 years, compliance with this European Standard does not guarantee the reliability of the product. This should be predicted using a recognised reliability assessment programme. 1.5 Quality assurance Compliance with this European Standard does not guarantee the manufacturing consistency of the product. This should be maintained using a recognised quality assurance programme.

Konektorski sestavi in povezovalne komponente za optične komunikacijske sisteme - Specifikacija izdelka - 16-1. del: Simpleks LF3 APC, zaključen na enorodnem optičnem kablu po IEC 60793-2-50 kategorij B1.1 in B1.3 s tulko iz titanovega kompozita za kategorijo C

Ta evropski standard vsebuje začetne dimenzijske, optične, mehanske in okoljske zahteve za delovanje, ki jih morajo na začetku svoje življenjske dobe izpolnjevati zaključeni in montirani konektorski sestav simpleksa LF3 APC 8° enorodne odporne poravnalne spojke (vtič–pretvornik–vtič), pretvornik in stikalni kabel, da se lahko kategorizirajo kot izdelki v skladu s standardom EN. Ker so dovoljene različne izvedbe in stopnje delovanja, so podrobnosti o označevanju izdelkov podane v točki 3.5.
