Fibre optic transceivers are used to convert electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. BS EN 62149-4 is a British standard which covers the performance standard for 1 300 nm fibre optic transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet application. The ISO/IEC 8802-3 Gigabit Ethernet standard is used as the basis for determining the optical characteristics of the transceiver, which operates with a line rate of 1,25 Gbit/s.
BS EN 62149-4 contains a definition of the product performance requirements together with a series of sets of tests and measurements with clearly defined conditions, severities, and pass/fail criteria. The tests are intended to be run on a “once-off” basis to prove any product’s ability to satisfy the performance standard’s requirements.
BS EN 62149-4 on fibre optic transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet application is helpful for:
It is essential to have access to reliable performance standards while manufacturing and testing fibre optic transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet application. BS EN 62149-4 provides manufacturers with the product parameters, the general, characterization and performance testing along with the environmental specifications.
BS EN 62149-4 guidelines allows users to effectively and safely prepare and test the performance standards of 1300 nm fibre optic transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet application.
