Why should you use BS EN 61754-34- Fibre optic connector interfaces- Type URM connector family? 

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with BS EN 61754-34 may involve the use of a patent concerning IEC 61754-34.

BS EN 61754-34 is about the type URM connector family. The parent connector for the type URM connector family is a duplex connector set of plug/adaptor/plug configuration which is characterized by a 1,25 mm nominal diameter ferrule. The plug connector includes two spring-loaded ferrules in the direction of the optical axis. The plug also has a single male key, which may be used to orientate and limit the relative position between the connector and the adaptor to which it is mated. The optical alignment mechanism of the connectors is a resilient sleeve. Drawings and dimensions provided consist of those minimum features that are functionally critical during the mating and unmating sequences of the plug with its adaptor counterpart component.  

Overall, BS EN 61754-34 is useful as it assists with the fibre optic connector interfaces for the type URM connector family which can be helpful for your business.
