This document is based upon the SAE ARP5602 document, A Guideline for Aerospace Platform Fiber Optic Training and Awareness Education. ARINC Report 807: Fiber Optic Training Requirements is a subset of the SAE ARP5602 document designed to meet the requirements of the commercial air transport industry. Certification to the SAE ARP5602 document fulfills the requirements of ARINC Report 807. This document defines recommended general practices for training requirements of aerospace fiber optic systems. It is the intention of this document to outline proven training practices and general standards of workmanship for technicians engaged in aerospace fiber optic manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and repair for the air transport industry. It is also recommended that management and purchasing personnel receive fundamental training to familiarize themselves with the requirements of aerospace fiber optics.

The purpose of ARINC Report 803 is to provide design and implementation guidelines together with a selection guide, providing a fiber optic system design engineer with documentation to assess the design requirements for an aerospace fiber optic installation.

This specification covers the performance requirements, dimensions, quality assurance criteria, test procedures, and cable codification for fiber optic cables suitable for use on commercial aircraft.

This document provides information on active devices used for avionics fiber optic applications. The main body of the document begins with the scope and rationale. It continues with a technology introduction to optoelectronic active devices and then a selection guide that would enable a system design engineer to use the documents in the Fiber Optics series to select or specify suitable optoelectronic active devices for avionics applications. The main document also includes environmental guidelines for active devices to be used in avionics applications. These are included as guidance for commercial aircraft use and are included with the caveat that the requirements of any particular aircraft platform or customer would supersede these generic guidelines.

This specification covers the dimensions, performance, and quality assurance criteria for fiber optic MT contacts, including performance test requirements and procedures, suitable for use on commercial aircraft.

This document defines a fiber optic Expanded Beam (EB) termini for the air transport industry. The goal is to avoid the proliferation of different designs of termini to serve the same functions on different aircraft models. This specification defines generic fiber optic EB termini needed for all types of aircraft.

ARINC Specification 802 defines standard fiber optic cable meeting the operational and environmental requirements for the air transport industry. The purpose of this document is to avoid the proliferation of different designs of cables serving the same functions on different airplane models. ARINC Specification 802 comprises three sections. Section 1 provides a general description of the objectives, scope, the types of cable, and the applicable environmental categories. Section 2 addresses the desired physical properties of the fiber optic cables. Section 3 defines the qualification tests that may be used to ensure the cables meet the characteristics provided by this document. A glossary is provided in Appendix A.

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.
