12744 B77415 - Fiber Optic Cables

17 January 2025

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

Scope The 580th SWES maintains a fiber channel connected communication processor test bench at Robins Air Force Base. There is a requirement to rebuild the interconnecting cable sets inside this test bench, and the 580th needs a contractor to build the four (4) Fiber Optic Cables.

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines contractor tasks and requirements for management, manufacturing, and delivery of the Fiber Optic Cables. A technical data package with drawings and models for each cable has been developed and contains the individual specifications for each assembly. The objective of this effort is to award a single contract to build and produce the four (4) Fiber Optic Cables as directed in Sections 3 & 4 of this SOW.

Background The 580th SWES communication processor test bench has undergone a number of changes that has compromised the current fiber optic cables. The system is being rebuilt to support future workload and as such, length, wear points, and channel quantities have changed. The rebuild effort provides a good opportunity to update the Fiber Optic Cable set to a more reliable and versatile configuration.
