BS EN 2591-6403:2001

What is BS EN 2591-6403 - Severities of vibrations in optical elements about?

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

BS EN 2591-6403 specifies a method of determining the ability of optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers to withstand specified severities of sinusoidal, random or simulated gunfire vibrations.

BS EN 2591-6403 shall be used together with EN 2591-100.

Who is BS EN 2591-6403 - Severities of vibrations in optical elements for?

BS EN 2591-6403 on severities of vibrations in 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 2591-6403 - Severities of vibrations in optical elements?

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

BS EN 2591-6403 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 vibrations.

BS EN 2591-6403 also provides you with initial measurements, levels, procedure and final measurements and requirements of the method for efficiently assessing the ability to withstand severities of vibrations.

With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2591-6403, you can demonstrate the reliability of your optical connection elements and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
