What is BS EN 2591-613 - Determining the impact resistance of optical connectors about?
BS EN 2591 is a series on elements of electrical and optical connection. An optical fibre connector is a flexible device that connects fibre cables requiring a quick connection and disconnection.
BS EN 2591-613 specifies a method of determining the impact resistance on a hard surface of optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers. BS EN 2591-613 shall be used together with EN 2591-100 which is the Aerospace series – Elements of electrical and optical connection – Test methods – Part 100: General.
Who is BS EN 2591-613 - Determining the impact resistance of optical connectors for?
BS EN 2591-613 on the method of determining the impact resistance of optical connectors is useful for:
- Manufacturers of optical connectors
- Fibre cable inspectors
- Aerospace and Defence agencies
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of optical connectors
- Suppliers of optical connectors
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
Why should you use BS EN 2591-613 - Determining the impact resistance of optical connectors?
Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial, and military applications. Aerospace engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics. Aerospace organizations research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain aircraft and spacecraft. BS EN 2591-613 provides guidelines to test the impact resistance on a hard surface of optical connection elements i.e., including permanent connections and fibre optic couplers.
The methods provided in BS EN 2591-613 can aid in the manufacturing of optical connectors as it will ensure that these products are of the highest quality, long-lasting and efficient in use. This in turn will benefit suppliers to sell their products by ensuring the highest quality. Using BS EN 2591-613 you can specify a method of determining the impact resistance on a hard surface of optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre optic couplers.
