Overview
EN 2591-6404:2001 - part of the Aerospace series by CEN/AECMA - defines a standardized test method for optical elements to evaluate their resistance to transverse (lateral) loads. The standard applies to mated pairs of optical connection elements (including permanent connections) and fibre‑optic couplers and verifies they withstand transverse loading without mechanical or optical damage. EN 2591-6404 is intended to be used together with EN 2591-100 (general test requirements).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Assessment of mated optical connection elements and fibre optic couplers under transverse load conditions.
- Specimen preparation: Specimens must be fitted with normal accessories and terminated according to the applicable product standard; product-specific details (insertion loss limits, permissible attenuation variation, cable/fibre type and length) shall be specified when not given.
- Test references and apparatus: The procedure cross-references EN 2591-404 and EN 2591-601 for apparatus and basic transverse‑load procedures.
- Monitoring during test:
- Continuous monitoring of variation of attenuation in accordance with EN 2591-602.
- If required by the product standard, electrical continuity of housings must be checked throughout the test per EN 2591-205.
- Final measurements and pass/fail criteria: Final optical performance measurements use EN 2591-6101 (insertion loss) and the test complements checks such as mating/unmating forces (EN 2591-408) and optical insertion loss (EN 2591-601).
Practical applications
- Use cases:
- Qualification of aerospace optical connectors for airframe, avionics and space applications where lateral forces may act on mated connectors.
- Verification of fibre‑optic coupler robustness in ruggedized or vibration-prone environments.
- Supplier and quality‑assurance testing during connector design, production and acceptance.
- Who uses it:
- Aerospace OEMs, connector manufacturers, test laboratories and qualification engineers.
- Systems integrators and maintenance organizations responsible for ensuring optical interconnect reliability under mechanical stress.
