BS EN 50377 is a series on connector sets and interconnect components to be used in optical fibre communication systems. Connector sets and interconnects components and electromechanical devices used to join electrical conductors and create an electrical circuit. BS EN 50377-4-2 contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a connector terminated with cylindrical zirconia 8° angled PC ferrule and assembled Singlemode resilient alignment sleeve SC-APC 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 50377-4-2.
BS EN 50377-4-2 on connector sets and interconnect components is useful for:
Thousands of configurations of connectors are manufactured for power, data, and audiovisual applications. BS EN 50377-4-2 describes the SC-APC simplex connector set which is a single position plug connector set of plug/adaptor/plug configuration characterised by a cylindrical, spring-loaded butting ferrule of 2,5 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 50377-4-2 describes variants of SC-APC connector which includes terminated plug and adaptor. dimensional and marking requirements, optical performance requirements, mechanical performance requirements and environmental performance requirements are also included in the product qualification requirements of the BS EN 50377-4-2. Using BS EN 50377-4-2 you can specify the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements which a connector terminated with cylindrical zirconia 8° angled PC ferrule and assembled Singlemode resilient alignment sleeve SC-APC simplex connector set.
