BS EN 2591-6401:2001

What is BS EN 2591-6401 -  Acceleration steady state of optical elements about?

BS EN 2591 is a European standard that discusses the elements of the electrical and optical connection.

BS EN 2591-6401 specifies a method of determining the ability of optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers to withstand continuous acceleration.

BS EN 2591-6401 shall be used together with EN 2591-100.

Who is BS EN 2591-6401 -  Acceleration steady state of optical elements for?

BS EN 2591-6401 on acceleration steady state of optical elements is relevant to:

• Manufacturers of electrical and optical connection and fibre optic couplers
• Aerospace and defence industries
• Quality control personnel
• Aerospace technical specialists

Why should you use BS EN 2591-6401 -  Acceleration steady state of optical elements?

Optical connection elements are mated and fitted with terminated contacts standard accessories.

BS EN 2591-6401 guides you on the preparation of specimens and provides, test methods for determining the ability of optical connection elements to withstand acceleration.

BS EN 2591-6401 provides you with the initial measurements, procedure and final measurements and requirements of the test method for efficiently assessing the ability to withstand acceleration.

With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2591-6401, you can demonstrate the reliability of your optical connection elements and fibre optic couplers to build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
