communication equipment
An item consisting of electrical conductors separated from each other by a continuous homogeneous dielectric (including porous types and touching and/or interlocking beads or spacers), and designed primarily for the conduction of radio frequency energy. Includes a single conductor inclosed in an outer concentric conductor (coaxial) with or without a protective sheath; two or more coaxial cables laid parallel with an outer electrical shield and/or common sheath; two or more parallel conductors with an outer electrical shield and/or a common sheath; two or more individually insulated twisted conductors with or without an electrical shield and/or protective covering. All types have low-loss or special characteristics at high frequencies. Refers to bulk quantities only; for items of definite length with processed ends or terminated in fittings, see cable assembly, radio frequency. See also line, radio frequency transmission.
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Item does not contain precious metal.
No known electrostatic discharge (esd) or electromagnetic interference (emi) sensitivity.
Represents items with no adp components
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. A one position code that identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. A one position code which identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.
