Overview
EN 2591-614:2002 is a CEN/AECMA aerospace test-method standard that defines how to check the resistance to radial compression of optical connection elements, including permanent connections and fibre optic couplers. It is part of the Aerospace series – Elements of electrical and optical connection – Test methods and is intended to be used together with EN 2591-100 (general test conditions).
Keywords: EN 2591-614:2002, connector radial compression, optical elements, fibre optic couplers, aerospace test methods.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Specifies a reproducible method for applying radial compression loads to optical connectors and couplers and assessing the effect on performance.
- Specimen preparation: Terminate and fit specimens per the product standard; use filler plugs for unterminated cavities; stabilize specimens under standard test conditions for 24 h (per EN 2591-100).
- Apparatus:
- Steel base plate: nominal 300 × 500 × 25 mm.
- Aluminium loading plate: nominal 100 × 100 × 15 mm, with a 10 mm thick material pad of 80 Shore D hardness to apply the load.
- Load and duration options (choose one combination unless product standard states otherwise):
- 500 N for 1.5 s
- 1 000 N for 5 s
- 2 000 N for 10 s
- 5 000 N for 60 s
- Test procedure (summary):
- Connect specimen to measurement equipment (LLS and LDS) and set reference power.
- Disconnect and position specimen between the loading plate and test surface; apply selected radial load for the chosen duration; remove load.
- Bulkhead/panel-mount receptacles are typically not tested.
- Post-test measurements and pass/fail criteria: Reconnect and perform measurements referenced to related standards:
- EN 2591-601 (insertion loss)
- EN 2591-6101 (visual examination)
- EN 2591-408 (mating/unmating forces) where applicable to non-permanent connections
Practical applications
- Ensures optical connector and coupler designs used in aerospace platforms resist crush and radial compression loads without excessive insertion loss or damage.
- Useful for: aerospace manufacturers, connector and fibre-optic component suppliers, test laboratories, quality assurance and reliability engineers validating connector mechanical robustness for aircraft and space systems.
- Helps qualify components for harsh mechanical environments, assembly stresses, or accidental compressive loads during installation and service.
