2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR SOLE SOURCEBASED ON

CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE

ACQUISITION

Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) is a PEO C4I system that is being installed onboard submarines. Recently, Non-MIL SPEC CAT-5e cable (Teldor Cables &

Systems Ltd., Cat.5e 4x2x24/1 AWG F/UTP LSZH-SHF1, PN: 9MG0588101) was installed on two in-service submarines. At the time, approved CAT 5e cable was not available and a non-MIL

SPEC cable installed in its place for the CANES network. Fire testing of these cables are required for submarine applications. In response to this action, NAVSEA requested MIL-DTL-

24643C testing data for the recently installed cable. The fire testing of these communication cables yields different results for different manufacturers, as there are variabilities in the materials from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, fire testing conducted on the same cable installed on the in-service submarine and substitution of a different product is not technically acceptable.
