BS EN 3745-511:2002

What is BS EN 3745-511 - Cable to cable abrasion about? 

BS EN 3745-511 is the 511^th part of the BS EN 3745 multi-series on aerospace products.
BS EN 3745-511 specifies a method of measuring the resistance of an optical cable to abrasion between cables. BS EN 3745-511 contains the preparation of the specimen, the apparatus, the test procedure and much more.

Who is BS EN 3745-511 - Cable to cable abrasion for? 
BS EN 3745-511 on the method of measuring resistance is useful for: 

• Aerospace Industry
• Aerospace and aeronautical engineers
• Fiber cable inspectors
• Defense Industry
• Suppliers of electrical and optical cable.
• Testing agencies involved in the inspection of optical cable
• Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
• Manufacturers of electrical and optical cable

Why should you use BS EN 3745-511- Cable to cable abrasion?  

When installing an optical cable, care must be taken to ensure that the cable is not bent, stretched or deformed. Else, the cable will be faulty. The initial signs would be when the fibre core breaks. If the fibre optic core is deformed or damaged, this can cause signal distortion resulting in intermittent faults. Hence, it is important to ensure that a cable clears the quality requirements.

BS EN 3745-511 helps testing agencies, manufacturers and suppliers, and industries involved in optical cables. BS EN 3745-511 gives a guideline for measuring an optical cable's resistance to abrasion between cables. This ensures optimum reliability of the product along with best industrial practices.
