INTERCONNECTING GROUPS 0A-7021(XW-1)/FCC-17, 0A-7151(XW-1)/FCC-17 AND 0A-7152(XW-1)/FCC-17 (SUPERGROUP INTERCONNECT PANELS).

This report contains a summary of the Category I testing of the supergroup interconnect panel, fabricated under the Phase B provisions of Contract AF30635-11188. The supergroup interconnect panel was designed and developed to interconnect a 60-channel supergroup between two ANFCC-17 multiplexer sets, or between an ANFCC-17 multiplexer set and a commercial L multiplex system at the same terminal location. One supergroup interconnect panel is used for each direction of transmission of a 60channel supergroup. The Category I testing phase of the supergroup interconnect panel development was accomplished to determine compliance with design requirements set forth in Lenkurt equipment specification 805-02737, and to evaluate equipment performance. After testing the equipment in accordance with the Category I Test Plan, it was concluded that the equipment is highly reliable, and is entirely within the specifications set forth in Lenkurt equipment specification 805-02737.
