Overview
EN 2591-6101:2001 is a European aerospace test-method standard published under CEN/AECMA. It defines a method for the visual examination of optical connection elements, including permanent connections and fibre optic couplers, used in aerospace electrical and optical interconnects. This standard is intended to be used together with EN 2591-100 (general test-method requirements) and references EN 2591-101 where applicable.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Visual inspection procedure for optical elements in aerospace connectors and couplers; applies to both removable and permanent optical connections.
- Details to specify: Technical specifications shall identify the optical details to be examined, optical performance characteristics, cable/fibre type and length, and which optical faces are subject to inspection.
- Inspection criteria: Requires assessment of surface quality and freedom from contamination or defects that could affect optical performance (e.g., scratches, debris, polishing defects).
- Inspection method: Visual examination is performed in accordance with EN 2591-100 and may reference EN 2591-101 for general visual practices. The standard requires specifying the optical magnification and the inspection equipment used to evaluate the optical face.
- Normative references: EN 2591-100 (general test methods) and EN 2591-101 (visual examination guidance) are cited as complementary standards.
Practical applications
This standard is used to ensure reliable optical connections in aerospace systems where signal integrity and low attenuation are critical. Typical applications include:
- Incoming inspection of optical connectors and fibre couplers from suppliers.
- Manufacturing and assembly quality control for avionics and airborne data networks.
- Maintenance and line-replacement inspection procedures for aircraft optical links.
- Acceptance testing and supplier qualification programs to verify optical-face cleanliness and surface quality.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies requiring harmonized visual inspection practices for aerospace optical interconnects.
Who uses this standard
- Aerospace manufacturers and subcontractors (avionics, flight controls, sensor systems)
- Connector and fibre optic component suppliers
- Quality assurance and inspection teams
- Test laboratories and certification/approval authorities
- Maintenance and avionics technicians
