BS EN 50377-18-1:2019

What is BS EN 50377‑18-1 about?  

BS EN 50377‑18-1 contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical and environmental performance requirements (excluding electrical requirements) to be met by a 12-fibre multimode PPS MPO plug terminated on EN 60793-2-10 category A1a.3a or A1a.3b fibre and a 4+4x10,3125 Gb/s MPO (QSFP) transceiver to meet in order to be categorized as an EN standard product. 

Who BS EN 50377‑18‑1 for? 

BS EN 50377‑18-1 on optical fibre communication systems is useful for:  

• Optical fibre equipment manufacturers 
• Internet service providers 
• Cable and Television Providers  
• Design engineers 
• Quality control personnel 

Why should you use BS EN 50377‑18‑1:2019? 

Implementing BS EN 50377‑18-1 allows you to provide smoother connectivity to your customers through your optical fibre communication systems. This translates to a better user experience for them. The benefits for your customers include: 

• Higher bandwidth  
• Longer transmission distance 
• Greater flexibility 
• Improved latency 
• Stronger security 
• Better transmission 
• Less attenuation 

BS EN 50377‑18-1 improves the mechanical coupling and alignment of the cores of fibres, so that data can be transmitted without any loss. BS EN 50377‑18-1 application in optical fibre communication negates the loss of light. It also reduces the loss caused by reflection or misalignment of the fibres.
