BS EN 61754-13:2006

This standard BS EN 61754-13:2006 Fibre optic connector interfaces is classified in these ICS categories:

• 21.020 Characteristics and design of machines, apparatus, equipment
• 03.120.30 Application of statistical methods
• 33.180.20 Fibre optic interconnecting devices

Defines the standard interface dimensions for the type FC-PC family of connectors. The parent connector for type FC connector family is a single position plug connector set of plug/adapter configuration which is characterised by a 2,5 mm nominal ferrule diameter. It includes a thread coupling mechanism, which is spring loaded relative to the ferrule in the direction of the optical axis. The plug has a single male key which may be used to orient and limit the relative position between the connector and the component to which is mated. The optical alignment mechanism of the connectors is of a rigid bore sleeve or a resilient sleeve style.
