What is BS EN 61300-2-7 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?

BS EN 61300 is a series on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is a  fibre optic  telecommunications technology for delivering  broadband  network access to end customers. BS EN 61300-2-7 details a procedure for determining the suitability of a fibre optic device to withstand the environmental condition of a bending moment which may occur in actual use, storage and/or transport. The test is primarily intended to permit the observation of the effects of a bending moment. The bending moment may result in effects that would destroy functional utility, cause loss of physical strength, and cause changes in other important mechanical properties. Degradation of optical properties may also occur. The specimen may be a component, a connector set, a splice or other device combination intended for fibre optic usage.
