MIL-PRF-85045/17C
TABLE II. Qualification and conformance inspection Continued.
NOTES:
1/
Tolerance on 0.5-km length is ±5 percent, provided that results are normalized to 1 km.
2/
Tolerance on shorter lengths is ±5 percent.
3/
A sample is the initial 0.5-km cable length.
4/
A specimen is a cable length that is cut from the initial 0.5-km cable length (i.e., the sample) or is cut from a
longer previous cut length (i.e., cut from a longer specimen).
5/
The visual and mechanical inspection shall only be conducted on a 2-m section of each sample.
6/
The same samples as used in the visual and mechanical inspection shall be used.
7/
A specimen cut from one of the visual and mechanical inspection test samples shall be used.
8/
As stated under the applicable tests in this specification sheet.
9/
The same samples as used in the temperature cycling test shall be used.
10/
A specimen cut from each sample used in the temperature cycling test shall be used.
11/
Three specimens cut from each sample used in the temperature cycling test shall be used.
12/
Specimens cut from the specimen used in the temperature life (life aging) test shall be used.
13/
The same specimen as used in the tensile loading and elongation test shall be used.
14/
A specimen cut from the specimen used in the thermal shock test shall be used.
15/
Three flat extruded jacket material strips as specified in 4.7.5.15 shall be used in this test.
16/
Specimens cut from the specimen used in the thermal shock test shall be used.
17/
A specimen cut from the specimen used in the thermal shock test or one of the specimens used in the tensile
loading and elongation test shall be used.
18/
Flat extruded jacket material strips (i.e., strips of flat extruded material with the same composition of the
cable jacket and of sufficient dimensions in which dumbbells can be cut) prepared as specified in 4.7.5.14
cited method and obtained from flat extruded material that underwent the thermal shock test shall be used.
19/
Flat extruded jacket material as specified in 4.7.5.15 shall be used in this test.
20/
Specimen cut from the specimen used in the thermal shock test shall be used. Two specimens shall be used
for scraping abrasion, and two specimens shall be used in the cable-to-cable abrasion testing.
21/
A specimen cut from one of the samples used in the temperature cycling test or specimen used in the thermal
shock test shall be used.
Qualification by similarity:
Manufacturers who are qualified under this specification sheet for multimode fiber cable (M85045/17-01) and
whose single-mode fiber cable passes the tests and inspections specified in table III are qualified under this
specification sheet for single-mode fiber cable (M85045/17-02). This qualification by similarity is applicable if the
only difference between the previously qualified cable and the cable under test is that the optical fiber had been
changed from a multimode fiber to a single-mode fiber. Testing may be performed on either one or two lengths of
cable, each with a minimum length of 0.5 km. Test order must be observed up to and including the storage
temperature test. If only one cable length is used, the thermal shock test shall be performed after the storage
temperature test.
