What is BS EN 61755-3-7 - Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components about?

BS EN 61755 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 61755-3-7 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. The composite ferrule uses different 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 titanium for the end face contact zone. Ferrules made from the material specified in BS EN 61755-3-7 are suitable for use in categories C, U, E and O as defined in .
