BS EN 4533-003:2017EN 4533-003:2017 (E) 4 Introduction a) The Handbook This handbook aims to provide general guidance for experts and non-experts alike in the area of designing, installing, and supporting fibre-optic systems on aircraft. Where appropriate more detailed sources of
25、information are referenced throughout the text. It is arranged in 4 parts, which reflect key aspects of an optical harness life cycle, namely: Part 001: Termination methods and tools Part 002: Test and measurement Part 003: Looming and installation practices Part 004: Repair, maintenance, cleaning a
26、nd inspection b) Background It is widely accepted in the aerospace industry that photonic technology significant advantages over conventional electrical hardware. These include massive signal bandwidth capacity, electrical safety, and immunity of passive fibre-optic components to the problems associ
27、ated with electromagnetic interference (EMI). Significant weight savings can also be realized in comparison to electrical harnesses which may require heavy screening. To date, the EMI issue has been the critical driver for airborne fibre-optic communications systems because of the growing use of non
28、-metallic aerostructures. However, future avionic requirements are driving bandwidth specifications from 10s of Mbits/s into the multi-Gbits/s regime in some cases, i.e. beyond the limits of electrical interconnect technology. The properties of photonic technology can potentially be exploited to adv
29、antage in many avionic applications, such as video/sensor multiplexing, flight control signalling, electronic warfare, and entertainment systems, as well as sensor for monitoring aerostructure. The basic optical interconnect fabric or optical harness is the key enabler for the successful introductio
30、n of optical technology onto commercial and military aircraft. Compared to the mature telecommunications applications, an aircraft fibre-optic system needs to operate in a hostile environment (e.g. temperature extremes, humidity, vibration, and contamination) and accommodate additional physical rest
31、rictions imposed by the airframe (e.g. harness attachments, tight bend radii requirements, and bulkhead connections). Until recently, optical harnessing technology and associated practices were insufficiently developed to be applied without large safety margins. In addition, the international standa
32、rds did not adequately cover many aspects of the life cycle. The lack of accepted standards thus lead to airframe specific hardware and support. These factors collectively carried a significant cost penalty (procurement and through-life costs), that often made an optical harness less competitive tha
33、n an electrical equivalent. This situation is changing with the adoption of more standardized (telecoms type) fibre types in aerospace cables and the availability of more ruggedized COTS components. These improved developments have been possible due to significant research collaboration between comp
34、onent and equipment manufacturers as well as the end use airframers. BS EN 4533-003:2017EN 4533-003:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This handbook considers best practice during initial design and how the practices chosen affect through life support of the installation. Looming and installation practices are a cr
35、itical aspect of any aircraft electrical/avionics installation. In order to provide a reliable and efficient system it is important that the fibre optic installation is designed for reliability and maintainability. This document provides technical advice and assistance to designers and engineers on
36、the incorporation of fibre optic harnesses into an airframe, while, wherever possible, maintaining maximum compliance with current aircraft electrical harness procedures. All topics that are related to Installation of optical cables are addressed in EN 3197. These rules are applicable for fibre opti
37、c cables and connectors defined by EN specifications. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

40、rror that of copper systems and comply as much as possible with current general aircraft electrical harness procedures. There are numerous installation specifications detailing the requirements for the routing of copper based harnesses, however they are very similar in content, therefore fibre optic
41、 harness routing will have to fulfil the following criteria: a) Accessibility for inspection and maintenance; b) Prevent or minimise the risk of damage from: Chafing, scraping or abrasion; Use as handholds or as support for personal equipment; Damage by personnel moving within the aircraft; Stowage
42、or movement of cargo; Battery electrolytes and fumes; BS EN 4533-003:2017EN 4533-003:2017 (E) 6 Stones, ice, mud and burst tyre debris in landing gear bays; Combat damage (to the maximum extent practicable); Loose or moving parts; Moisture and fluids; Localised high temperatures; Frequent mating and
43、 de-mating of connectors; Exposure to high temperature/high vibration areas. Copper installations are prone to electrical interference and their use is restricted in “volatile” zones. Fibre optic cables are immune to electrical interference and are ideally suited for use in, or routing through “vola
44、tile” zones. Examples of areas that fibre optic harnesses may provide a better solution over copper include: a) Areas where there are high levels of electrical field; b) Areas where electric fields need to be kept to a minimum, e.g. compass deviation; c) Routing through and close to fuel tanks; d) C
45、lose proximity to electrically initiated explosive devices (EIEDs) and their systems. During the design phase of a fibre optic installation routing considerations need to be addressed when determining the optimum routing, these include: a) System criticality; b) Harness accessibility, improves on-ai
46、rcraft repair and maintenance, but should not degrade system protection; c) System segregation and redundancy, maximisation of damage limitation; d) Accessibility of connectors; e) System and component repair and maintenance issues (it is noted that design of common harness lengths on an aircraft ma
47、y improve the supportability (common spares inventory) if repairs are required); f) Introduction of dormant fibre in harnesses and/or extra fibre lengths may reduce on-aircraft repair times. BS EN 4533-003:2017EN 4533-003:2017 (E) 7 3.2 System design considerations 3.2.1 Introduction In the design o
48、f a fibre optic harness, the link topology and the available routing path on the platform will dictate the physical length of the harness and any required branching of the assembly. If the fibre optic installation is to be installed on an existing platform, then possible routing paths may be restric
49、ted (due to existing infrastructure and equipment). However if the platform is a new build, then there may be more freedom to design the routing path. It is noted that fibre optic design software has been developed to assist in the layout of fibre optic harnessing. This can be used to model different paths and also calculate insertion loss of the link, depending on the path route. A small number of commercial packages are believed to be available. These can also predict losses associated with installation bends o
