Guidelines regarding design, safety, and other subjects relevant to acceptance of the end item are addressed. Notes explaining the reason for setting a guideline or suggesting methods for performing the task are provided in commentary. The content of the document is designed to make it usable for reference by industry, particularly manufacturers of seats and equipment.

ARINC 800 is the first industry standard intended for characterization of aviation-grade high-speed (Gbps) Ethernet links. The test methods are based on realistic representation of cabin networks. The notional cabling architecture is based on IFE seat distribution using multiple intermediate disconnects. Sequential testing is supported by building up number of connectors in the link. Test guidelines for mixed intermediate cable lengths are provided.

This document defines Controller Area Network (CAN) interface standard. It defines the physical layer provisions to maintain compliance with ISO 11898. The scope of Supplement 3 is limited to correcting the high integrity message CRC calculation and providing additional guidance to support interoperability. This includes the definition of a periodic health status message, functional status reporting, peer-to-peer message structure, and quiet bus behavior.

This document defines standardized connectors intended for use on rack-mountable avionics equipment. It is aligned to the latest version of MIL-C-81659. Supplement 2 was updated to support cabin equipment applications. It corrects intermateability control dimensions that are provided for single shell plug connectors.

This document is the first of a multi-part specification that will provide a catalog of cabin connector and cables that may be used in ARINC Standard cabin systems, including In-Flight Entertainment. Part 1 describes connector and cable requirements and evaluation criteria for the interface components used in the integration of cabin systems. Future releases will define connectors, contacts, and termination methods in Part 2. Cables will be specified in Part 3.

ARINC Specification 485, Part 2 specifies the ARINC 485-control protocol used by the LRUs described in ARINC Specification 628 Part 2. This document defines a multi-drop bus. The point-to-point configuration is also supported. The point-to-point bus is treated simply as a multi-drop bus with only one drop. There is one master LRU and one or more slave LRUs present on the bus. However; multiple buses may be connected in parallel, where each parallel bus operates independently from each other.

This Specification defines general architectural philosophy and aircraft infrastructure for the proper use and interface of various cabin related IFE equipment. Compliance with ARINC Specification 808 allows each respective system to operate in concert when integrated with other relevant cabin equipment. ARINC Specification 808 defines standards for the aircraft 3rd Generation Cabin Network (3GCN), IFE Cabin Distribution System (CDS), wiring, connectors, power, identification codes, space envelopes, and mounting principles. Although some of these standards also apply to 3GCN wireless IFE systems, the overall 3GCN wireless IFE network specification is covered in ARINC Specification 820. The equipment itself is not a subject of this specification because it may be unique to the system manufacturer or marketplace-driven. Design guidelines are included for informational purposes as these guidelines impact the interfaces and installation of cabin equipment aboard the aircraft.

This document defines both wired and wireless NSS components that enable the creation of airborne networks that are scalable, interchangeable, upgradeable, and remotely manageable with minimum cost. Aircraft equipment configurations and aircraft wiring recommendations are also described to allow aircraft network growth through the simple addition or replacement of NSS components. Hardware characteristics of standardized components are described without specifying equipment capacity or the operational functions of those components.

This specification defines the addressing plan and rules for addressing used in Aircraft Data Networks (ADN). The plan is organized in accordance with the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model. The specification sets forth the structure of addresses that are employed in the ADN and guidance for address determination. This guidance ensures that all applications - that use this address structure to send messages - can know the address structure of the destination(s) at configuration-time.

This document defines general system architectural philosophy and specific design guidance for the design and interface of various cabin related equipment. System performance parameters are described for connectors, electrical interfaces, operational mode control/protocols, BITE reporting, reliability, environmental conditions, and software data loading.
