Why should you use BS EN 4640-003 - Plug optical connectors for aerospace applications?

Optical fibre connectors are used to join optical fibres where a connect/disconnect capability is required. Optical fibre is being deployed on commercial aircraft because of its ability to transmit much more data/information in less time over long distances. In this regard, implementing BS EN 4640-003 best practice guidelines ensures safe data transmission and lists out standards of products.

BS EN 4640-003 provides the outer dimensions and optical contact position of plug connectors.

BS EN 4640-003 covers the optical, mechanical and climatic characteristics and the designation of the plug optical connector.

BS EN 4640-003 describes the marking and technical specification of the fibre cables used for aerospace equipment.

BS EN 4640-003 guidelines help to ensure the reliability of aerospace equipment. This contributes towards the safety of the passengers during travel.
