BS EN 2591 is a European Standard for aerospace series that discusses the test methods on the elements of electrical and optical connection. The main aim of the BS EN 2591 series is to assure aircraft safety when electrical components/elements are installed/fitted.
BS EN 2591-6305 is one of the parts of the BS EN 2591 series that specifies a method of checking the ability of optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers to withstand rapid changes of temperature such as might occur during transportation and in operation.
BS EN 2591-6305 shall be used together with EN 2591-100.
BS EN 2591-6305 on optical connection elements in aerospace applications is useful for:
An optical connection is a connection that uses fibre optics to transfer audio data from a compatible source device to a compatible playback device using a specially designed cable and connector. Temperature is one of the primary considerations when designing a fibre optic cable for aerospace applications. Furthermore, fibre optic assemblies subjected to temperature fluctuations are also prone to changes in insertion loss.
In this regard, BS EN 2591-6305 provides the testing apparatus, preparation of test specimens, test method, recovery and final measurements and requirements.
With BS EN 2591-6305 compliance, you may improve the efficiency of aerospace equipment and produce a standardised high-quality product, increasing the reliability of your products and building trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
Overall, aerospace equipment and components must fulfil the highest quality standards in order to withstand the extreme conditions that they are subjected to.
