1 Scope
1.1 Product definition
This European Standard contains the initial, start of life dimensional, optical, mechanical and environmental
performance requirements which a connector terminated with cylindrical zirconia PC ferrule and assembled
singlemode resilient alignment sleeve LSH-PC simplex connector set (plug/adaptor/plug), adaptor and patchcord
must meet in order for it to be categorised as an EN standard product.

Since different variants and grades of performance are permitted, product marking details are given in 3.5.

1.2 Intermateability
Although all products conforming to the requirements of this standard will intermate, the resulting level of random
attenuation performance will only be ensured in accordance with Table 1. The intention is that this will be true
irrespective of the manufacturing source(s) of the product.

When intermating plug variants having different attenuation grades, the resulting level of attenuation can not be
assured to be any better than the worst attenuation grade.
The intermating of a grade C plug with a grade B plug will result in an uncertain level of random attenuation
performance.
Table 1 - Ensured level of random attenuation
Plug variant / Attenuation grade C B
C C C
B C B
1.3 Operating environment
The tests selected combined with the severities and durations are representative of a category U environment
described in EN 61753-1.
1.4 Reliability
Whilst the anticipated service life expectancy of the product in this environment is 20 years, compliance with this
standard does not guarantee the reliability of the product. This should be predicted using a recognised reliability
assessment programme.
1.5 Quality assurance
Compliance with this standard does not guarantee the manufacturing consistency of the product. This should be
maintained using a recognised quality assurance programme.

3 Description
The LSH-PC connector is a single position plug connector set of plug/adaptor/plug configuration characterised by a
cylindrical, spring loaded butting ferrule of 2,5 mm nominal diameter and a latched push-pull coupling mechanism.
The optical alignment mechanism of the connectors is of a resilient sleeve style.

3.1 Plug
The plug features a cylindrical full zirconia ferrule and a latched push-pull mechanism. The plug has mechanical and
colour coding.
3.2 Adaptor
The adaptor has a zirconia ceramic resilient alignment sleeve. The mounting style can be:
i square flange - 2 hole fixing;
