The IPC-A-640, Acceptance Requirements for Optical Fiber, Optical Cable and Hybrid Wiring Harness Assemblies standard provides acceptance requirements
IPC-A-640 explained: Acceptance requirements for optical fiber, cable, and hybrid harness assemblies. Covers classes, inspection criteria, and testing needs.
11.5.1 All finished flight fiber optic assemblies shall be tested to ensure that measured optical performance meets the performance requirements in the engineering documentation.
Fiber optic cable sequential numbers are required at each pole location and vault wall. Sequential numbers will identify conduit length, and slack left in vaults and at poles.
To ensure compatibility, reliability, safety, and long-term performance, fiber optic cables and related connectivity products must comply with a wide range of international standards and
Support structures for fiber optic cable installations should be completed before the installation of the fiber optic cable itself. Outside plant structures should be installed in conformance with all permits
