1.1 General This Part of EN 4533 examines the termination aspects of fibre optic design for avionic installations. By termination is meant the mechanism used to interface from one component (usually a fibre) to another. This is normally performed by a connector, which aligns the fibre with another component (usually another connector) to a sufficient accuracy to allow continued transmission of an optical signal throughout the operational envelope.This Part will explain the need for high integrity terminations, provide an insight into component selection issues and suggests best practice when terminating fibres into connectors for high integrity applications
