Overview

EN 2591-6414:2001 is a CEN / AECMA aerospace test method standard that defines how to assess the locking performance of lanyard release optical connection elements. It specifies the test approach for unmating (release) of optical connectors that use a lanyard-release mechanism and is intended to be used together with EN 2591-100 (general test requirements).

This standard helps manufacturers, test laboratories and quality engineers verify that lanyard-release optical connectors meet required locking and release characteristics for aerospace electrical and optical connection systems.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Method for assessing the locking of the lanyard release mechanism of optical connection elements.
• Specimen preparation: Specimens must be fitted with normal accessories and terminated/mounted per the applicable product standard. Where not otherwise specified, the technical specification shall include the maximum insertion loss and the type and length of cable/fibre used for tests.
• Referenced test methods: EN 2591-6414 is used in conjunction with other EN 2591 series documents:
  • EN 2591-100 – General test procedures for aerospace connection elements
  • EN 2591-414 – Unmating procedures (primary procedure reference)
  • EN 2591-408 – Mating and unmating forces
  • EN 2591-601 – Optical elements – Insertion loss
  • EN 2591-6101 – Optical elements – Visual examination
• Test sequence:
  • Initial measurements (optical insertion loss and baseline checks) per EN 2591-414 and EN 2591-601
  • Unmating/lanyard-release procedure following EN 2591-414
  • Final measurements and acceptance criteria using EN 2591-6101, EN 2591-408 and EN 2591-601

Practical applications

• Verifying the safety and reliability of lanyard-release optical connectors used in aircraft and spacecraft cabling.
• Acceptance testing during production, qualification testing for new connector designs, and periodic requalification after environmental or mechanical stress.
• Supporting procurement specifications and supplier quality control by providing repeatable, standardized test methods for unmating performance.
• Useful for connector designers, aerospace system integrators, maintenance engineers, and independent test laboratories focused on optical interconnects.

Who should use this standard

• Aerospace manufacturers and suppliers of optical connectors
• Test laboratories and certification bodies performing connector qualification
• Design and quality engineers specifying connector performance and procurement criteria
• Maintenance and reliability engineers addressing in-service connector behavior
