IPC D-640-2016
This full-color document provides design and critical process requirements and technical insight for cable and wire harness assemblies incorporating optical fiber, optical cable and hybrid wiring technology.
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 Fiber Optic Association, Inc. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet. The charter of the FOA was to promote professionalism in fiber optics through education, certification, and. That's why IPC developed IPC-A-640, the acceptance standard specifically for optical fiber, optical cable, and hybrid wiring harness assemblies. While most engineers...
