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.
