CEI EN 50377-13-3

W/D S/S BY CEI 86

Product definition
 
This European Standard contains the initial, start of life
dimensional, optical, mechanical and environmental performance
requirements which a terminated and assembled singlemode resilient
alignment sleeve LX.5 APC connector set (plug/ adaptor/ plug)
should meet in order for it to be categorised as an EN standard
product.
 
Since different variants and grades of performance are permitted,
product marking details are given in 3.6.
 
Intermateability
 
Although all products conforming to the requirements of this
European Standard will intermate, the resulting level of random
attenuation performance will only be ensured in accordance with
Table 1. The intention is that this will be true irrespective of
the manufacturing source(s) of the product.
 
When intermating plug variants having different attenuation grades,
the resulting level of attenuation cannot be assured to be any
better than the worst attenuation grade.
 
Operating environment
 
The tests selected combined with the severities and durations are
representative of a category U environment described in EN
61753-1.
 
Reliability
 
Whilst the anticipated service life expectancy of the product in
this environment is 20 years, compliance with this specification
does not guarantee the reliability of the product. This should be
predicted using a recognised reliability assessment
programme.
 
Quality assurance

Compliance with this specification does not guarantee the
manufacturing consistency of the product. This should be maintained
using a recognised quality assurance programme.
