MIL-PRF-24623C, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: SPLICE, FIBER OPTIC CABLE GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (24-MAY-2001) [SUPERSEDING MIL-S-24623B, MIL-S-0024623A AND DOD-S-24623]

MIL-PRF-24623C, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: SPLICE, FIBER OPTIC CABLE GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (24-MAY-2001) [SUPERSEDING MIL-S-24623B, MIL-S-0024623A AND DOD-S-24623]., This specification covers environmental and nonenvironmental resistant (chemical, mechanical and fusion) splices suitable for military use with optical cables and fibers. Fiber and cable splices specified herein cover a family of general purpose, interconnection hardware providing a variety of compatible optical arrangements. Yhe fiber optic cable splices covered by this specification are intended for use in military applications where their performance characteristics are required. The splices covered by this specification are unique due to the fact that these devices must be able to operate satisfactorily in systems under the following demanding conditions: 10 g’s vibration and over 1000 g’s shock. In addition, these requirements are verified under a qualification system. Commercial splices are not designed to withstand these environmental conditions.
