Why should you use BS EN 4640-004 - Receptacle optical connectors for aerospace applications?
Aircraft and telecommunications equipment requires precision and firmness to take on the pressure of heavy equipment. Optical fibre connectors are used to join optical fibres where a connect/disconnect capability is required. Optical fibre is being deployed on commercial aircraft because of its ability to transmit much more data/information in less time over long distances. In this regard, implementing BS EN 4640-004 best practice guidelines ensures safe data transmission and lists out standards of products.
BS EN 4640-004 specifies the outer dimensions of the receptacle connector interface, optical contact position of the rectangular connector interface insert and removable alignment sleeve holder.
BS EN 4640-004 describes the optical, mechanical and climatic characteristics and arrangement designation of the receptacle optical connector of the aerospace equipment.
BS EN 4640-004 outlines the sleeve holder designation and female insert receptacle with illustrations of the optical connectors and includes marking and technical specifications of the fibre cables used for aerospace equipment.
BS EN 4640-004 guidelines help to ensure the reliability of aerospace equipment. This contributes towards the safety of the passengers during travel.
