1 Scope
1.1 Product definition
This standard contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical and environmental performance
requirements which a terminated and assembled singlemode resilient alignment sleeve MU-PC simplex connector
set (plug adaptor plug) must 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 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.

In all cases, the intermating of plug variants having different attenuation or return loss grades will result in an
uncertain level of random attenuation performance. When intermating plug variants having different return loss
grades, the resulting level of return loss can not be assured to be any better than the worst return loss grade

Similarly, the intermating of a grade P plug with a grade Q plug will result in an uncertain level of random
attenuation performance.
Table 1 - Ensured level of random attenuation

Plug variant/Attenuation grade P Q
P P P
Q P Q
1.3 Operating environment
The tests selected combined with the severities and durations are representative of an EN 61753 Category U
environment and the ES 200 671 environment.

1.4 Reliability
Whilst the anticipated service life expectancy of the product in this environment is 20 years, compliance with this
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 standard does not guarantee the manufacturing consistency of the product. This should be
maintained using a recognised quality assurance programme.

2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).
