MIL-STD-2042-3B(SH)
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1 General fiber optics terms. Definitions for general fiber optics terms used in this standard practice are in accordance with EIA/TIA-440. Definitions for other terms as they are used in this standard practice are given in the following paragraphs.
3.2 Chafing collar. A chafing collar is a round or oval banding that protects two or more cables that penetrate structure from crimping and wear caused by rubbing against sharp edges.
3.3 Collective protection system (CPS). A CPS system is a system designed to inhibit the entry of chemical, biological, and radiological contaminants into collective protection zones on board Naval ships.
3.4 Kickpipe. A kickpipe is a pipe welded into the deck with a stuffing tube attached. Kickpipes provide protection for cables at deck penetrations and are used to clear an obstruction or preserve alignment.
3.5 Metal stuffing tube. A metal stuffing tube provides a means for making watertight single cable penetrations through shell plating, decks, and bulkheads, and into equipment.
3.6 Multiple cable penetrator (MCP). A MCP provides a means for making watertight, airtight, and firetight penetrations through decks, bulkheads, and into equipment.
3.7 Nipple. A nipple is a smaller version of the chafing collar, and is used to protect a single cable penetration.
3.8 Optical fiber cable. A cable that contains optical fibers.
3.8.1 BOF cable. A cable that contains one or more BOF tubes through which optical fibers or optical fiber bundles are blown.
3.8.2 Conventional optical fiber cable. An optical fiber cable in which the optical fiber is an integral part of the cable and is installed during the cable manufacturing process.
3.9 Swage tube. A swage tube provides watertight cable penetrations through decks and is an alternative to a stuffing tube with a kickpipe.
