MIL-STD-1678/5B (W/ CHANGE-1), DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STANDARD PRACTICE: FIBER OPTIC CABLING SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS AND MEASUREMENTS (PART 5: DESIGN PHASE AND LEGACY MEASUREMENTS) (PART 5 OF 6 PARTS) (21-MAY-2020)

MIL-STD-1678/5B (W/ CHANGE-1), DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STANDARD PRACTICE: FIBER OPTIC CABLING SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS AND MEASUREMENTS (PART 5: DESIGN PHASE AND LEGACY MEASUREMENTS) (PART 5 OF 6 PARTS) (21-MAY-2020)., This standard practice provides detailed information and guidance to personnel concerned with ensuring standardization of fiber optic cable topologies (optical fiber cabling and associated components) on military mobile vehicles used in air, land, and sea applications. In general, the requirements and methods specified herein are not identifiable to any specific mobile vehicle class or type, but are intended to standardize and minimize variations in requirements, test setups, test measurement procedures, test sample fabrication configurations, and other aspects that must be addressed for completeness. Where specified, constrains for usage or platform types will be listed. The term “platform” will be used to refer to the military mobile vehicles in general or, where designated, one particular class (such as “aircraft platform”) or one particular type within that class (such as “F-35”).
