EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of SAE AS 5675 testing. It establishes a standard that instructs both the supplier and the user on the testing and characterization of first-build fiber optic cable assemblies for avionics/aerospace applications. It includes specifications for jumpers (aerospace measurement quality jumpers), end faces, link loss requirements and inspection.
The purpose of this standard is to address the inspection and testing of fiber optic cable assemblies at the beginning of life (BOL). It is understood that the equipment described in this standard is intended for use in a fabrication environment.
Jumpers are fiber optic cables used to connect two devices or components. The standard defines jumper requirements in terms of fiber type, cable construction, and connector type. It also specifies the minimum bend radius, maximum tensile load, and minimum cable length.
End face geometry refers to the shape and quality of connectors that terminate fiber optic cables. The standard defines end face geometry requirements in terms of fiber height, radius of curvature, and vertex offset. It also specifies the maximum allowable scratches, dents and contaminants on the end face.
Link loss measurement refers to the amount of signal loss that occurs when a signal is transmitted through the fiber optic cable assembly. The standard defines requirements for link loss measurement in terms of test equipment, test setup, and measurement procedures. It also specifies the maximum allowable connection loss for different mounting types.
Inspection means a visual inspection of the fiber optic cable assembly to ensure it meets the requirements of the standard. The standard defines inspection requirements in terms of inspection equipment, inspection criteria and acceptance criteria. It also specifies the maximum allowable defects and contaminants in the cable assembly.
In general, the SAE AS 5675 standard provides a set of requirements and guidelines for the design, manufacture and testing of fiber optic cable assemblies for aerospace applications. By following these requirements, manufacturers can ensure that their cable assemblies meet the performance and reliability requirements of the aerospace industry.
