2.3 Order of precedence. Unless otherwise noted herein or in the contract, in the event of a conflict between the text of this document
and the references cited herein, the text of this document takes precedence. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable
laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Specification sheets. The individual item requirements shall be as specified herein and in accordance with the applicable
specification sheet. In the event of any conflict between the requirements of this specification and the specification sheet, the latter shall
govern.
3.2 Qualification. Connectors furnished under this specification shall be products that are manufactured by a manufacturer authorized
by the qualifying activity for listing on the applicable qualified manufacturers list before contract award (see 4.5 and 6.3).
3.2.1 Product assurance. The contractor's product assurance program for assembled connectors and assembly procedures shall
meet the requirements of MIL-STD-790.
3.2.1.1 Test sample preparation. Fiber optic connector samples complying with the specified requirements (see 3.1) shall be
submitted for qualification. For single ferrule connector plug qualification, the manufacturer shall provide the mating single ferrule
connector receptacle, or provide the bulkhead adapter with another mating single ferrule connector plug. For bulkhead adapter
qualification, the manufacturer shall provide two mating adapters with four mating single ferrule connector plugs. For single ferrule
connector receptacle qualification, the manufacturer shall provide a mating single ferrule connector plug. All connectors (plug and
receptacle) provided shall be fully assembled, terminated and attached to an appropriate length of the type of cable specified in the
appropriate specification sheet. Opposite ends of the cable shall be terminated to an ST connector to facilitate optical testing. All
ferrules on single ferrule connectors shall be optically finished (polished to specified process or end face geometry or both) as part of
the termination process. Component quantities tested shall be as specified in the specific qualification table (see 3.1).
3.3 Material. Material shall be as specified herein (see table I). If materials other than those specified are used, the contractor shall
certify to the qualifying activity that the substitute material enables the connectors to meet the requirements of this specification.
Acceptance or approval of any constituent material shall not be construed as a guarantee of the acceptance of the product. When a
definite material is not specified, a material shall be used which will enable the connector to meet the requirements of this specification
(see 4.4). Materials used in the connector construction shall not emit explosive fumes when exposed to high temperature or flame.
3.3.1 General. The connectors, caps, covers, storage receptacles, or other protective accessory hardware shall be constructed of
material as specified herein or as specified in the detail specification sheets (see 3.1). Connectors shall be manufactured to good
workmanship quality appropriate with the intended use of the equipment. Materials may be dielectric or conductive. Materials used in
the connectors shall in no manner interfere with or degrade the optical performance of the fibers. When definite materials or finishes
are specified, the materials or finishes used shall enable the connectors to meet all performance requirements of this specification.
3.3.2 Metals. Unless otherwise specified (see 3.1), all metals used in the construction of the connectors shall be corrosion-
resistant types (300 series CRES), or shall be suitably plated or otherwise finished to prevent corrosion during any of the environmental
