In most cases, MIL-STD testing requires the test engineer to couple RF stimulus into the products ports by means of capacitive and inductive coupling methods to determine the products ability to withstand adverse conditions. While MET Labs is interested in maintaining the products original design, sometimes the MIL spec requires the test engineer to splice in coupling transformers or coupling capacitors onto the shield of the cable for injection purposes. MET Laboratories recommends to all of our MIL-STD customers to be able supply duplicate cabling, when needed, with one set to be typical installation lengths and the other cabling set of cabling to be used for slicing.
