Aerospace series - Fibre optic systems - Handbook - Part 003: Looming and installation practices

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 critical 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 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 optic cables and connectors defined by EN specifications.

Part 003: Looming and installation practices Part 004: Repair, maintenance, cleaning and 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 associated 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-metallic aerostructures. However, future avionic requirements are driving bandwidth specifications from 10’s 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 advantage 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 introduction 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 restrictions 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 standards 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 than 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 component and equipment manufacturers as well as the end use airframers. SIST EN 4533-003:2018

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 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 or movement of cargo;  Battery electrolytes and fumes; SIST EN 4533-003:2018
