Fiber optic cable should consist of a single fused silica, partially graded index; glass clad fiber surrounded by silicone coating; buffer jacket; and tensile strength members; then covered by scuff-resistant outer jacket; propagation delays increase at 5 ns per meter of cable length increase; data rate: as limited by pulse width distortion, is not affected by increasing cable length, if the optical power level is maintained; propagation delay 6 ns; cable length shall be 11.500 to 12.000 inches ; forward peak current: should not be less than 10.0 ma, in the on state with no duty factor restriction; operating temperature: minus 20.0 to plus 70.0 degrees celsius max; flexing: 180.0 degrees bending at bend radius of 20.0 mm no load, to a tensile load of 2.25 pounds max; cable connectors 0.300 to 0.330 inches hex ; thread ends are 0.250-36 unf-2b
A definite continuous length of cable, fiber optic having both ends cleaved, optically ground and polished and/or terminated in fittings which provide for connection to other items. Excludes items having branches or forks. Excludes cable assembly, single bundle, fiber optic. See also wiring harness, fiber optic.
Classification: Insulated optical fiber cables with individually sheathed fibers
