What is BS EN 4701-001 - Technical specification for rectangular optical connectors about?
BS EN 4701 is a European standard on aerospace that discusses rectangular optical connectors intended for use in operating temperature 125 °C. BS EN 4701-001 provides the technical specification for optical connectors to ensure their quality and standard.
BS EN 4701-001 is the first part of a multi-part series that specifies the general characteristics, the conditions for qualification, acceptance, and quality assurance, as well as the test programs and groups for EN 4165 rectangular connectors with removable optical modules using EN 4531-101 contacts.
BS EN 4701-001 describes an optical connector module to be installed in plug and receptacle housings.
Who is BS EN 4701-001 - Technical specification for rectangular optical connectors for ?
BS EN 4701-001 on the technical specifications for rectangular optical connectors is useful for:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace products manufacturers

Why should you use BS EN 4701-001 - Technical specification for rectangular optical connectors ?
Fibre optic connectors are suitable for use in aerospace onboard applications. It provides easy access for optical contact end face cleaning.
A fibre-optic module connects fibre optic cables to an electronic device. A fibre-optic module is a component that is used to connect a fibre-optic cable to an electronic device. There are several different parts of a fibre-optic module, and different modules are designed with different specifications. An optical module converts the electrical signal into light and vice versa.
The guidelines specified under BS EN 4701-001 assist in selecting the right module to improve the production process in case an electronic component fails, the failed component can be replaced when the optical module and electrical connector are installed.
The guidelines provided under BS EN 4701-001 assist the design engineer with the use of the optical module to have greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products with components.
BS EN 4701-001 is structured such that the necessary level of quality is achieved, consistently maintained, and the high reliability of the product assured.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 4701-001, you can demonstrate the reliability of the products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
