Terminals - Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors - 60794-2 Application Field and Working Principle

The IEC 60794-2 standard is a set of specifications designed to define and quantify the performance of optical power connectors (OPC) used in the telecom and data industries. It measures the mechanical, electrical, environmental, and optical parameters of OPCs that are connected using either quick connect (QC) or quick disconnect (QDC) connectors. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 60794-2 standard.

Application Field

The 60794-2 standard is used to test and characterize OPCs that are used with telecom and data-type networks. These types of networks are typically designed to carry high-speed data and voice services over long distances using copper or fiber cables. OPCs used in these types of networks must be able to meet stringent requirements in regards to performance, reliability, and durability. By testing OPCs according to the 60794-2 standard, they can ensure they are of suitable quality and performance to be used in the intended environment.

Working Principle

The 60794-2 standard operates on a principle of testing each OPC’s characteristics and then comparing them to pre-defined criteria. This testing includes both mechanical and electrical measurements. For mechanical testing, the OPCs are measured for insertion and retention force tests, torque tests, withdrawal force tests, and more. The electrical testing consists of measuring the contact resistance of the OPC, the insulation resistance between the contacts, and the dielectric strength. The test also includes measuring the optical power of the device.

Once the OPCs have undergone the testing process, the data is compared to the standard’s criteria to ensure it meets the requirements. If it fails any of the criteria, then the OPC is considered to be non-compliant and should not be used in the application.

Conclusion

The 60794-2 standard provides an essential and comprehensive set of requirements to ensure the quality and performance of OPCs used in telecommunications and data networks. By following this standard, manufacturers can ensure their products are useable in these applications and that users can trust the performance of the equipment.
