IPC-A-640, officially titled “Acceptance Requirements for Optical Fiber, Optical Cable, and Hybrid Wiring Harness Assemblies,” provides acceptance criteria for cable and wire harness assemblies that incorporate optical fiber technology. The standard was developed by IPC (Association Connecting. Developed by the Fiber Optic Cable Acceptability Task Group (7-31m) of the Product Assurance Committee (7-30) of IPC. Users of this publication are encouraged to participate in the development of future revisions. 9 QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS – TEST. Reference materials listed in this text are among those considered as. Composite OPGW tests are design-level tests performed to ensure that the complete cable—metallic strands and optical fibers together—meets mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements. PD-EC-1110 from NASA Technical Memorandum 4322A, NASA Reliability Preferred Practices for Design and Test.
