This specification describes the general connectors, contacts, and backshells in their shape and characteristic for cabin systems for commercial aircrafts. ARINC 600, ARINC 404, and ARINC 801 connector specifications are published as independent standards.

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 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 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.

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 standard provides guidance to airframe manufacturers concerning the utilization of aircraft electrical power. This standard covers the description of basic power characteristics, and detailed guidance concerning transient protection, interference control, and equipment installation considerations.

Cabin equipment interfaces Part 4B is similar to description provided for Part 4A. The significant difference is that Part 4B specifies a CDS using a star wiring topology. Standardized wiring, connectors and installation requirements for a passenger seat network, overhead video network, and cabin management equipment network are included. Electrical and fiber optic networks are covered.

Cabin equipment interfaces use a standardized wiring topology defined in Part 4A. This standard defines a standard CDS using a daisy chain wiring topology. This standard defines standard wiring, connectors and installation requirements for a passenger seat network, overhead video network, and cabin management equipment network. Electrical and fiber optic networks are covered.

ARINC Specification 628, Cabin Equipment Interfaces (CEI) Part 5 Parts Selection, Wire Design and Installation Guidelines, provides design and mounting guidelines for electrical installations, mainly for supplier of cabin furnishing equipment. Part 5 addresses several aspects of installation and is divided into five sections: Introduction, Parts Selection, Electrical Wire Design Guidelines, Wire Installation Guidelines, and Documentation Guidelines. 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.

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.

ARINC 828-4 defines a common Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) interface that can support EFB installations and the associated software applications. Supplement 4 defines two new connectors that will provide power and Ethernet to the EFB, thus enabling a smaller and lighter footprint for EFB installation provisions.

Defines standards for the transfer of digital data between components within an IMA cabinet. Includes the protocol and timing characteristics for a synchronous backplane data bus capable of transferring data at 60 Mbps using a data path that is two bits wide. The electrical characteristics and behavior expected of the participating modules are defined.

This original "ATR" packaging standard provides a system of modularized equipment dimensions used in a wide variety of avionics installations. Connector standards, mating and holdown techniques are included.

ARINC Characteristic 765 defines an Ethernet Switch Unit (ESU), which fits in the general architectural philosophy and aircraft infrastructure for the proper use and interface of various information network related equipment. This document specifies an ESU intended for various aircraft information network related equipment. It provides a wired network connection among the connected devices based on interfaces defined by ARINC Specification 664 and IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD (Ethernet).

The goal of this document is to provide the basis for a structured process to identify, analyze and resolve NFF issues. The NFF issues include providing guidance for decision making pertinent to the root causes of NFF, enabling action in an early stage of the component repair cycle, reducing costs involved with units unnecessarily removed from an aircraft (e.g. maintenance practices, operational factors, training, documentation etc.), highlighting the need for addressing the causes of NFF through component and system design, addressing the development/improvement of maintenance processes, and providing a framework for the interaction between the different domains for the users of this document (listed below) to implement their own strategies.
