Overview
The standards of the EN 3745 series describe test methods for fiber optic cables for use in aircraft. The standard DIN EN 3745-516 specifies a method of checking the break resistance and attenuation variation recovery of an optical cable subjected to severe bending under load. The standard differs from the previous edition DIN EN 3745-516:2012-10 as follows: a) Figure 1 has been revised; the retaining clamp has been omitted and the value for the typical radius has been changed; b) point f) has been added to the procedures in 5.1. The standards of the EN 3745 series have been prepared by ASD-STAN, Technical Section Electrics, with the participation of German experts of the Aerospace Standards Committee. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) declared the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) responsible for the preparation of European standards (EN) for the field of aerospace. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 131-04-10 AA "LWL und LWL-Komponenten" ("LWL and LWL-components") at DIN Standards Committee Aerospace.
