AS8438
This document provides details of test methods that should be taken into consideration when qualifying fiber optic termini to the product specifications (slash sheets). The product specifications (slash sheets) provide pass/fail criteria, optical and physical intermatability, and interoperability requirements for fiber optic termini in circular, rectangular, and modular type aerospace connectors.
Rationale:
The aerospace industry requires precise standards to support the unprecedented growth of fiber optic technology. It is meant to address the needs of current and future demand for fiber optic applications and emerging photonic technologies that are being deployed on aerospace fiber optic network infrastructures. AS8438 provides details of test methods that should be taken into consideration when qualifying fiber optic termini with the product specifications (slash sheets) providing pass/fail criteria, optical and physical intermatability, and interoperability requirements for fiber optic termini in circular, rectangular, and modular type aerospace connectors.
