BS EN 61300-3-24 provides a method to measure the keying accuracy of a polarization maintaining fibre connector.
BS EN 61300-3-24 specifies that the optical fibre connectors for polarization maintaining fibre (PMF) shall align the birefringence axes of the two mating fibres. The keying accuracy of PM connector plugs should be specified to realize PMF connection with high extinction ratio propagation (see annex A).
BS EN 61300-3-24 on fibre optic interconnecting devices is helpful for:
Having reliable guidelines is essential to prepare and use quality fibre optic interconnecting devices. BS EN 61300-3-24 provides manufacturers with the vital requirements and procedures which allows them to manufacture and test fibre optic interconnecting devices effectively.
BS EN 61300-3-24 allows users to have efficient and long lasting connectivity with standardized fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components.
