FOREWORD

1. This Department of Defense Standard Practice is approved for use by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Department of the Navy, and is available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.

2. Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 05Q, 1333 Isaac Hull Avenue Southeast, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160 by using the self-addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.

3. This standard practice provides detailed information and guidance to personnel concerned with the installation of fiber optic cable topologies (fiber optic cabling and associated components) on Naval surface ships and submarines. The methods specified herein are not identifiable to any specific ship class or type,

but are intended to standardize and minimize variations in installation methods to enhance the compatibility of the installations on all Naval ships.

4. In order to provide flexibility in the use and update of the installation methods, this standard practice is issued in eight parts; the basic standard practice and seven numbered parts as follows:

Part 1 Cables

Part 2 Equipment

Part 3 Cable Penetrations

Part 4 Cableways

Part 5 Connectors and Interconnections

Part 6 Tests

Part 7 Pierside Connectivity Cable Assemblies and Interconnection Hardware

5. Considering the magnitude of this standard, along with the changing requirements imposed on the fiber optic cable topology, it is inevitable that changes will be required to update these methods. Therefore, when the need for change is recognized, comments should be forwarded to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) 05Q. Revisions to this standard will be by issuance of change pages.
