Blown Optical Fiber

The following CIDs are designed to assist in the implementation of blown optical fiber applications.

CID A-A-59728 (5 pgs., 15k)
Title: Plug, Tube Fitting, Blown Optical Fiber
Scope: This Commercial Item Description (CID) covers the requirements for a tube fitting plug (TFP) which is used with a tube fitting / tube coupler to seal the ends of empty blown optical fiber (BOF) tubes in tube routing boxes, fiber optic interconnection boxes and equipment, or is used to seal an unused port of a tube tee.

CID A-A-59729 (8 pgs., 38k)
Title: Furcation Units, Tube, Blown Optical Fiber
Scope: This Commercial Item Description (CID) covers the general requirements for blown optical fiber (BOF) tube furcation units (TFUs) that separate either individual BOF fibers or fiber bundles within a BOF tube into individual single fiber cables that may be terminated using traditional single fiber optic connectors and termination techniques. These furcation units are designed for use in shipboard equipment and enclosures.

CID A-A-59730 (5 pgs., 15k)
Title: Plugs, Tapered Tube, Blown Optical Fiber
Scope: This Commercial Item Description (CID) covers the requirements for a tapered tube plug (TTP) which is used within a Blown Optical Fiber (BOF) tube to prevent movement of the BOF fibers or BOF bundles.

CID A-A-59731 Rev B (8 pgs., 24k)
Title: Tube Fittings, Blown Optical Fiber
Scope: This Commercial Item Description (CID) covers the general requirements for blown optical fiber (BOF) tube fittings (straight tube couplers, tee tube couplers and end caps) that are used to join together two or more BOF tubes or to terminate a single BOF tube. These tube fittings are designed for use in shipboard equipment and enclosures.
