Abstract

In this paper the reader is provided a comprehensive fiber optic cable assembly specification checklist to consider for avionics applications. Its purpose is to facilitate supply chain utilization of unambiguous specifications, qualifications, and quality assurance standardization of avionics fiber optic cable assemblies. Fiber optic cable assemblies used for avionics application should be considered on a case-by-case basis as the performance, service life, reliability, supportability, and maintainability requirements of avionics systems vary between aircraft type (i.e., fixed wing or rotary), model, series, mission, etc
