3.4.1
Cable Testing
After installation of the cable and before connection to system components,
each cable section shall be tested using a time domain reflectometer (TDR)
to determine shorts, open, kinks, and other impedance discontinuities and
their locations. Cable sections showing adverse impedance discontinuities
(defined as greater than 6 dB loss) shall be replaced at the Contractor's
expense. There shall be no cable splices between system components unless
approved by the Government.
3.4.2
System Testing
An end-to-end system test shall be conducted to determine if the system
performance requirements have been met. Tests shall also be performed on
randomly selected equipment, components, and modules selected at the time
of testing by the Government, to determine if the system meets the
specified requirements. Deficient portions of the system shall be repaired
and retested at the Contractor's expense.
