MIL-STD-2042-6B(SH)
5. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
5.l Acceptance tests. The acceptance tests shall be conducted on all components.
5.l.l BOF fibers and bundles. BOF fibers and bundles should be subjected to the visual inspection of Method 6Al and the cable attenuation test of Method 6Bl.
5.l.2 Cable. The tests to be performed on cables is determined by the optical fiber cable configuration as follows:
a. Visual inspection, Method 6Al - all cables. (Recommended)
b. Cable attenuation test, Method 6Bl - conventional cables greater than 50 m (l65 feet) in length and either without connectors or splice ferrules installed, or with connectors or splice ferrules installed on only one
end. (Recommended)
c. Cable assembly link loss test, Method 6Cl - conventional cables with connectors or splice ferrules installed on both ends. (Recommended)
d. Cable continuity test, Method 6Dl - conventional cables less than 50 m (l65 feet) in length without connectors or splice ferrules installed on both ends. (Recommended)
e. BOF cable ball bearing Test, Method 6Hl - BOF cables. (Recommended)
5.l.3 Connectors, splices, and interconnection boxes. All components should be subjected to the visual inspection of Method 6Al.
5.2 Pre-Installation tests. The pre-installation tests shall be performed just prior to installation of the components on the ship.
5.2.l Cable. The tests to be performed is determined by the optical fiber cable configuration as follows:
a. Visual inspection, Method 6Al - all cables. (Mandatory)
b. Cable continuity test, Method 6Dl - conventional cable. (Recommended)
c. BOF cable ball bearing test, Method 6Hl - BOF tube cable. (Recommended)
5.2.2 Connectors, splices, and interconnection boxes. All components shall be subjected to the visual inspection of Method 6Al.
5.3 Installation tests. The installation tests shall be performed as components are installed on the ship.
5.3.l Conventional cable. The installation tests are performed in two phases, as follows:
a. Phase l - Immediately after the conventional optical fiber cable is installed in the cableways, repeat the visual inspection, Method 6Al, and the cable continuity test, Method 6Dl, on all cables (terminated and unterminated). (Recommended)
b. Phase 2a - After installation of connectors on the optical fiber cable such that fibers are terminated on both ends, perform the cable assembly link loss test, Method 6Cl, on all fibers terminated on both ends. For
