BS EN 61753-381-6:2016

What is BS EN 61753-381-6- Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about? 

BS EN 61753-381-6 is a safety standard on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. 

BS EN 61753-381-6 contains the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and severities which is a Gaussian-passband-profile cyclic arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) for single bidirectional transmission systems satisfy to be categorized as meeting the requirements of IEC 61753-1 for category O (uncontrolled environment). BS EN 61753-381-6 pertains to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network with multiple spectral bands transmission performance.  

BS EN 61753-381-6 covers the requirements of cyclic AWG devices with free spectral range (FSR) characteristics to ensure multiple spectral bands transmission performance. The requirement covers devices with single-mode non-connectorized pigtails and no electric circuit board. 

Who is BS EN 61753-381-6- Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?  

BS EN 61753-381-6 on cyclic arrayed waveguide grating is relevant to: 

• Manufacturers of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components 
• Manufacturers of arrayed waveguide gratings 
• Manufacturers of measuring apparatus and testing equipment 
• Testing authorities 

Why should you use BS EN 61753-381-6- Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components? 

Cyclic arrayed waveguide grating is a multi-wavelength-selective branching device that can perform the function of a wavelength multiplexer and demultiplexer with DWDM channel spacing. 

The tests described in BS EN 61753-381-6 define the number of samples to be evaluated. DWDM devices used for each test are intended to be previously unstressed new samples but may also be selected from previously used samples if desired. All measurements are carried out at normal room conditions unless otherwise stated. If the device is provided with active temperature control, this shall be set at the set-point specified by the manufacturer. All tests are to be carried out to validate performance over the required operating wavelength range. As a result, single or multiple spectral bands may be chosen for the qualification and differing target specifications may be assigned to each spectral band. 

Overall, BS EN 61753-381-6 is useful as it assists with the performance standard of cyclic arrayed waveguide grating category O (uncontrolled environment) which can be helpful for your business.
