BS EN 61753-141-2:2011

What is BS EN 61753-141-2 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?

BS EN 61753 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 61753-141-2 contains the minimum test and measurement requirements and severity levels that a fibre optic passive chromatic dispersion compensator using single-mode dispersion compensating fibre (DCF) must satisfy in order to be categorised as meeting the IEC standard, Category C – Controlled Environments. Generally, passive chromatic dispersion compensators are used to reduce the magnitude of chromatic dispersion (CD) between re-generators by adding CD to the span that has a sign opposite to the total CD of the cabled fibre and components. The requirements cover non-connectors passive chromatic dispersion compensators with single-mode fibre at both ends used in single-channel transmission and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission in single-mode fibres (SMF) (IEC60793-2-50, B1/B2/B4).

Who is BS EN 61753-141-2 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components for?

BS EN 61753-141-2 on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is useful for:

• Telecommunication component manufacturers
• Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
• Design engineers
• Quality control personnel

Why should you use BS EN 61753-141-2 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components?

Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components are widely used by people as a promising solution for modern access to telecommunication networks. BS EN 61753-141-2 describes tests that are to be carried out to validate performance over the required operating wavelength range of a passive chromatic dispersion compensator. As shown in IEC 61978-1, the operating wavelength range of DCF is either a single channel application or a multi-channel WDM application and each range is shown in BS EN 61753-141-2.

BS EN 61753-141-2 also specifies test, test report, and performance requirements which include reference components, dimensions, test details and requirements and the sample size of a passive chromatic dispersion compensator. Using BS EN 61753-141-2 you can understand the minimum test and measurement requirements and severity levels that a fibre optic passive chromatic dispersion compensator.
