Description / Abstract:
To create a standard that instructs both supplier and user in
the testing and characterization of initial build fiber optic cable
assemblies for avionics/aerospace applications. This can be in the
plant or in the avionics "box." It includes specification of
jumpers (aerospace measurement quality jumpers), end faces, link
loss requirements and inspection.
Purpose
This document is intended to address inspection and testing of
fiber optic cable assemblies at beginning of life (BOL). It is
understood that the equipment described in this document is
intended for use in a fabrication environment.
The purpose is to develop aerospace fiber optic standards for
quality and testing of;
• Jumpers, measurement quality, for aerospace testing
(AMQJs)
• End face geometry, examination of termination quality
• Link Loss measurement definition
• Inspection, end face finish, acceptability, cleanliness
