The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has certified Optical Cable Corp. in Roanoke, Va., as a fully qualified supplier of ground tactical fiber optic cable, meeting all military requirements.
A government-certified independent test laboratory subjected Optical Cable’s military ground tactical fiber optic cable to a series of rigorous optical, environmental, and mechanical tests as defined in MIL-PRF-85045/8A. The test results were reviewed by the Defense Supply Center, Columbus (DSCC), part of the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency.
DSCC validated that the company’s military ground tactical fiber-optic cables comply with the DOD’s test requirements. As a result, these products have been added to the DOD’s Qualified Parts List as complying with MIL-PRF-85045/8A.
The DOD has also certified Optical Cable’s manufacturing facility as a MIL-STD-790F facility. This certification requires compliance with government requirements for product design, documentation, process control, and management practices.
