BS EN 2591-6402:2001

What is BS EN 2591-6402 - Severities of mechanical shock in optical elements about?

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

BS EN 2591-6402 specifies a method of assessing the ability of optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers to withstand specified severities of mechanical shock.

BS EN 2591-6402 shall be used together with EN 2591-100.

Who is BS EN 2591-6402 - Severities of mechanical shock in optical elements for?

BS EN 2591-6402 on severities of mechanical shock in optical elements is relevant to:

• Manufacturers of optical connection elements
• Fibre optic couplers manufacturers
• Aerospace and defence industries
• Quality control personnel
• Aerospace technical specialists

Why should you use BS EN 2591-6402 - Severities of mechanical shock in optical elements?

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

BS EN 2591-6402 guides you on the preparation of specimens and provides test methods for determining the ability of optical connection elements and fibre optic couplers to withstand specified severities of a mechanical shock.

BS EN 2591-6402 provides you with the initial measurements, procedure and final measurements and requirements of the method for efficiently assessing the ability to withstand severities of mechanical shock.

With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2591-6402, you can demonstrate the reliability of your optical connection elements and fibre optic couplers and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
