BS EN 3733-108 specifies the characteristics of cable support boots for single-channel fibre optic plug and receptacle connectors for aerospace series single-core optical cable in accordance with EN 4532, operating temperature up to 150 °C.
Connector interface dimensions, table of tests and qualification approval requirements are contained in the Technical Specification EN 3733-001. EN 3733-002, List of product standards, includes the listings of product types, codification and applicable combinations of product types.
BS EN 3733-108 has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN).
BS EN 3733-108 on cable support boots is useful for:
Optical connectors are suitable for use in aerospace onboard applications. An optic module connects optic cables to an electronic device. An optic module is a component that is used to connect an optic cable to an electronic device. The guidelines provided under BS EN 3733-108 assist the design engineer with the use of the optical module to have greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products with components.
The guidelines in BS EN 3733-108 create a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical connectors for supplying their electronic connectors to the aerospace industry. With compliance and obedience to BS EN 3733-108, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of the products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
