What is BS EN 61755-3-5 - Cylindrical composite ferrule optical interface about?

BS EN 61755-3-5 is a part of a multi-series International Standard that covers the aspects of good quality fibre optic connector optical interfaces. BS EN 61755-3-5 defines dimensional limits and material properties of a 2.5 mm and a 1.25 mm diameter cylindrical composite ferrule optical interface to meet specific requirements for PC fibre-to-fibre interconnection. Ferrules made from the material specified in BS EN 61755-3-5 are suitable for use in categories C, U and O as defined in IEC 61753-1 . The composite ferrule uses varied materials in the end face contact zone and in the ferrule to sleeve contact zone. The specified materials for each zone are Zirconia (ZrO2) for the ferrule to sleeve contact zone and Cu-Ni-alloy for the end face contact zone. Note: If mated within the same family (cylindrical PC ferrule) the ferrules specified in BS EN 61755-3-5 are intended to ha...
