BS EN 61753-101-2:2006

What is BS EN 61753-101-2 - Category C - Controlled environment about? 

BS EN 61753-101-2 deals with performance standards for parts of fibre management systems.  

BS EN 61753-101-2 defines the tests and severities that form the performance or general operating service environment and identifies the tests that are product specific. BS EN 61753-101-2 also gives test and severity details.  

BS EN 61753-101-2 contains the minimum test and measurement severities that a specific product must satisfy to be categorised as meeting the IEC standard, Category C – Controlled environment, as defined in IEC 61753-1. 

Who is BS EN 61753-101-2- Category C - Controlled environment for?  

BS EN 61753-101-2 on fibre management systems for category C is relevant to: 

• Manufacturers of fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components 
• Manufacturers of devices used for fibre management systems for category C 
• Manufacturers of testing equipment and apparatus 
• Fibre optic technicians 
• Fibre optic installers 
• Testing authorities of performance testing 

Why should you use BS EN 61753-101-2- Category C - Controlled environment? 

Due to the rapid growth in data and information, fibre optic interconnections are proved to be very useful for clock distribution and communication between different parts of electronic computers. There have been raised demands for wider bandwidth in communication systems and higher performance in IT/NW equipment.  

BS EN 61753-101-2 is a performance standard for fibre management systems that defines the requirements for standard optical performance under a set of specified conditions. Conformance to a performance standard demonstrates that a product has passed a design verification test. 

BS EN 61753-101-2 contains a series or a set of tests and measurements with clearly stated conditions, severities, and pass/fail criteria. It gives the series of tests commonly referred to as an operating service environment or performance category, intended to be a base to prove the product’s ability.  

BS EN 61753-101-2 also helps users to satisfy the requirements of a specific application, market sector or user group. The mechanical and environmental performance of fibre management system parts is vital to the optical cabling system.  

BS EN 61753-101-2 serves the purpose of environmental testing to demonstrate that the parts of a fibre management system under defined environmental conditions can survive without irreversible or reversible failures and perform according to requirements.  

Overall, BS EN 61753-101-2 is useful as it provides guidance on the fibre management systems for category C, which can be helpful for your business.
