Overview

EN 3745-701:2002 is a CEN European/AECMA aerospace test standard that specifies a laboratory method for measuring the mechanical strippability of optical fibres and optical cables intended for aircraft use. The standard defines how to prepare specimens, the required test apparatus and the procedure to measure the peak stripping force needed to remove a specified layer without damaging the optical element. EN 3745-701 sits within the Aerospace series for optical fibres and cables and links to general and visual-examination test methods.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Method to quantify mechanical strippability of an optical fibre or cable layer.
  • Specimen preparation
    • Prepare specimens according to the applicable product standard.
    • Stabilize specimens at standard test conditions (24 h) as defined in EN 3745-100 (General).
    • Record test details: number of specimens, specimen type/length, blade/tool design, load (F) relative to layer, strip length (L), application speed, and permitted change after relaxation.
  • Apparatus
    • Test fixture to keep blade closed perpendicular to cable axis.
    • Device to apply and measure axial stripping force at a uniform rate.
    • Typical arrangements include fixed or moving blade configurations.
  • Procedure
    • Mark the strip length (L) on the target layer.
    • Close blades on the layer, fix either the cable or blade, then apply axial force until the layer slides.
    • Measure the maximum force recorded before sliding.
    • Default application speed: (100 ± 10) mm/min unless otherwise specified.
  • Acceptance criteria
    • The measured maximum force shall not exceed the limit specified in the applicable product standard.
    • After stripping, examine the cable/fibre for damage in accordance with EN 3745-201 (Visual examination).

Applications and users

  • Practical uses:
    • Verifying that aircraft-rated optical cables and fibres can be stripped reliably during manufacturing, installation and field maintenance.
    • Ensuring that stripping processes do not damage the optical core or impair performance.
    • Comparing materials, jacket constructions and tooling for ease of removal and consistency.
  • Typical users:
    • Aerospace OEMs and suppliers designing or qualifying optical fibre assemblies.
    • Materials and cable engineers evaluating jacket formulations and constructions.
    • Test laboratories and quality assurance teams performing incoming inspection and qualification tests.
    • Procurement and compliance teams requiring documented conformance to aerospace test methods.
