BS EN 50377 is a series on connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre communication systems. Connector sets and interconnect components is an electromechanical device used to join electrical conductors and create an electrical circuit. BS EN 50377-7-4 contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a connector terminated with cylindrical zirconia PC ferrule and assembled Singlemode resilient alignment sleeve LC-PC simplex connector set (plug/adaptor/plug) adaptor and patchcord 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 BS EN 50377-7-4.
BS EN 50377-7-4 on connector sets and interconnect components is useful for:
Electrical connectors essentially consist of two classes of materials: conductors and insulators. BS EN 50377-7-4 defines the LC-PC simplex connector that is a single position plug connector set of plug adaptor plug configurations characterised by cylindrical, spring-loaded butting ferrules of 1,25 mm nominal diameter and a latched push-pull coupling mechanism. The optical alignment mechanism of the connectors is of a resilient sleeve style.
BS EN 50377-7-4 describes the plug, adaptor, materials, dimensions, and colour and marking of the LC-PC simplex connector. BS EN 50377-7-4 also defines Dimensional and marking requirements, Optical performance requirements, Mechanical performance requirements, and Environmental performance requirements of an LC-PC simplex connector. Using BS EN 50377-7-4 you can specify the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a connector terminated with cylindrical zirconia PC ferrule and assembled Singlemode resilient alignment sleeve LC-PC simplex connector set.
