BS EN 61300 is a series on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components do not require electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical conversion during their operation. BS EN 61300-3-49 describe the procedure required to measure the guide pin retention force for rectangular ferrule multi-fibre connectors in order to ensure that the pins remain in place during mating/unmating.
BS EN 61300-3-49 on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is useful for:
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components are widely used by people as a promising solution for modern access to telecommunication networks. BS EN 61300-3-49 describes this measurement method that is applied for optical connectors specified in IEC 61754-7, IEC 61754-10 and IEC 61754-18. BS EN 61300-3-49 describes two methods using weight or a tensile testing machine.
The optical connector is held using a fixture. The guide pin is placed in a guide pin chuck. The weight or tensile testing machine is connected to the guide pin chuck. A measurement of guide pin retention force is taken. BS EN 61300-3-49 specifies the DUT preparation, acceptable value of guide pin retention force, maximum weight to be tested when using Method A, minimum duration when using method a, rate of application when using method b and deviations from this test method. Using BS EN 61300-3-49 you can describe the procedure required to measure the guide pin retention force for rectangular ferrule multi-fibre connectors.
