BS EN 3745-305 is a European Standard and a part of the multipart series that discusses fibres, optical and cables for aerospace applications.
BS EN 3745-305 specifies a method of measuring the immunity of optical fibre or cable to the coupling of power coming from an external light source.
BS EN 3745-305 demonstrates the scope, references, preparation of specimens, apparatus, method, procedure, final measurements and requirements for the precise testing of immunity to the ambient light coupling of aircraft components.
BS EN 3745-305 on optical cables testing for aerospace applications is useful for:
The aerospace industry is diverse and has been emerging with new technologies daily. This makes the demand high for aerospace components. Fibres, cables, and optic are widely used in the aerospace industry for the multitudes of properties provided by them that facilitates the high performance of aircraft. They are lightweight, have a higher bandwidth, better signal and help in enabling the high speed of aircraft. Furthermore, they are also able to withstand high pressure and temperatures.
The importance of their application in this industry makes testing and standardization crucial. BS EN 3745-305 gives you a procedure for testing the immunity to the ambient light coupling of optical cable. It helps you ensure that the components are not sensitive or reacting adversely to light. Test methods of aircraft components mentioned in BS EN 3745-305 can ensure uniformity in testing these components, thus ensuring smooth manufacturing of the same. Adopt BS EN 3745-305 to inform your customers about the best industry practices used to test fibres, cables and optics for their immunity to ambient light coupling.
