QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Qualification Testing
A.
Specimen Selection for Environmental Tests
Eight specimens for environmental tests shall be selected at random from the initial 24 cable
assembly specimens of each type built by three operators using field termination methods and
instructions. Specimen shall be defined as a cable terminated with 2 connector plugs. Each
specimen is cut in the center of the cable and the fiber ends are attached to the measurement
system. Connector plugs form a mated pair. Cable used for qualification shall be of type and length
specified in Figure 5. Measure the performance of each mated pair. Specimens shall meet the
performance requirements in Figure 1.

Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing specimens as specified in Figure 4.
4.2.
Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting form, fit or function are made to the product or manufacturing process,
product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of the original testing
sequence as determined by development/product, quality and reliability engineering.
4.3.
Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product meets requirements of Figure 2. Failures attributed
to equipment, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. When product failure
occurs, corrective action shall be taken and specimens resubmitted for qualification. Testing to confirm
corrective action is required before resubmittal.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning
A.
Connector
1.
Wipe completely around the connector ferrule twice with a lint-free tissue dampened with
isopropyl alcohol.
Repeat paragraph 5.1.A.1. using a lint-free dry cloth.
Place the dry lint-free cloth on a smooth, flat surface. Holding the connector perpendicular,
wipe the ferrule end face across the cloth.
Using a microscope, examine the end face for debris. If debris is present, repeat paragraphs
5.1.A.1. through 5.1.A.3.
Blow compressed air across the end face of the ferrule.
NOTE
