Why should you use BS EN 61754-23- Fibre optic connector interfaces? 

The parent connector for the type LX.5 connector family is a single position plug connector set of plug/adaptor configuration which is characterized by a 1.25 mm nominal diameter ferrule. The connector includes a single coupling latch and a ferrule spring-loaded in the direction of the optical axis. The plug has a single male key, which is used to orient and limit the relative position between the connector and the component to which it is mated.  

BS EN 61754-23 discusses the specifications of fibre optic connector interfaces, particularly for the type LX.5 connector family. This helps the users to understand the dimensions for the fibre connector that is in compliance with international standards. It contributes to achieving the optical alignment mechanism of the connectors. 

Overall, BS EN 61754-23 is useful as it provides guidance on fibre optic connector interfaces for the type LX.5 connector family which can be helpful for your business.
