Subject: Shipboard Applications Proper Measurement of Cable Assembly Link Loss
Description: This document (7 pgs., 116k) addresses the necessity and requirement to perform
a cable assembly link loss in accordance with MIL-STD-2042. Improper, measurement loss
techniques are being used by some installation personnel. Recent problems with unacceptable
measurement losses obtained were a result of measurement loss procedure used and not component
flaw or installer fabrication technique. Use of proper measurement loss procedure will ensure
accurate and repeatable data are obtained. [NSWCCD-SSES ltr 9504 Ser 9542/11 30 MAY 1997]
Subject: Optical Test Measurement Guide
Description: This document (66 pgs., 2 MB) addresses the requirements for performing optical test measurements on Fiber Optic Cable Topology (FOCT) components. Proper optical test measurement documentation and performance are required for test laboratory suitability status audits from the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC), proper test performance to FOCT military specifications, and a complete review of test procedures and test reports.

Subject: Method to Measure Ferrule End Faces on Fiber Optic Connectors and Termini
Description: This document (12 pgs., 316k) addresses guidelines to be used for specifying and measuring the ferrule end face geometry on fiber optic connectors and termini. Measurement method addressed is one using an interferometer. It is recognized that no one standardized ferrule end face geometry is in current use by all Platforms (such as ship, aircraft or ground-based). Acceptance criteria for ferrule end face geometry is addressed for domed end face ferrules (configured with either a physical contact, PC, or a non-contact, NC, polish) and for flat end face ferrules (with a NC polish only).
