Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) defines the items that shall be
considered when creating a fiber optic cable assembly specification
and source control drawing intended for installation on aerospace
platforms.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on criteria
that shall be considered when specifying an aerospace fiber optic
cable assembly. Users of this document are cautioned to not
over-specify inspection and test requirements, as this may
adversely affect price and/or lead time. It is helpful to cite
widely recognized standards as an aid to provide specific
requirements.
Field of Application
This document defines the required content of a comprehensive
aerospace fiber optic cable assembly engineering specification (or
source control document) and checklist. The specified requirements
are applicable to end users, system integrators, subsystem
suppliers and component vendors.
