The methods specified herein are notidentifiable to any specific aircraft class (such as highperformance) or type (such as rotary or fixed wing), butare intended to standardize and minimize variations inprocesses, techniques, procedures and methods toenhance the compatibility of these fiber optic operationson all military aircraft. The topology includes fiberoptic links, cable assemblies and cable harnessesalthough only one topology may be cited at To standardize these techniques and methodsso that fiber optic INSTALLATION , test and maintenancewill be done in a uniform August 2004 NAVAIR 01-1A-14-4TM 1- 1500 -323-24-4002 00 Page 2c.

Fiber attenuation is the lossof optical power as light travels along a the length of afiber. The attenuation in an optical fiber is caused byabsorption, scattering and bending losses. The equationfor attenuation is as follows:A(l)= -10 Log [Pi(l)/Po(l)]where:A(l) = Spectral attenuation at wavelength lPi= Optical power injected into a fiberfrom the optical sourcePo= Optical power received at the fiber endor power meter13 August 2004 NAVAIR 01-1A-14-4TM 1- 1500 -323-24-4003 01 Page , Cable Link.
