NATO Supply Class 5805 is a classification for Telephone And Telegraph Equipment within NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, And Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Telephone And Telegraph Equipment refers to devices and systems used for communication via telephone and telegraph. This includes various types of equipment such as telephones, telegraphs, switchboards, communication cables, connectors, and related accessories.

The purpose of this classification is to provide a standardized system for categorizing and organizing equipment related to communication and detection within NATO member countries. By using this classification system, it becomes easier for NATO member countries to identify, procure, and maintain the necessary equipment for their communication and detection needs.

It is important to note that this classification system is specific to NATO member countries and is used primarily for military purposes. It helps ensure interoperability and compatibility among the communication and detection equipment used by NATO forces.

FSC 5805 Telephone and Telegraph Equipment - Canada (CA)

Note-Excludes oscillator items which should be classified in FSC 5955 or 5963; fiber optic items which should be classified in Group 60; electronic modules as defined under Class 5963; and electrical cable, cord and wire assemblies, harnesses and sets, related to FSG 58 equipment (see FSC 5995). In Group 58, more than in any other group, it frequently happens that the same name is listed as an index entry in each of several classes. In addition, that name may also appear as an entry in groups other than 58. Each such entry refers to a distinctly different part or assembly, even though the different items have the same name. The listing of the same names in two or more classes indicates that, in one form, the part or assembly covered by the name is applicable to the equipment covered by one class, and in another form is applicable to the equipment covered by another class. For example, the item name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is applicable to two distinctly different assemblies, one of which has an application in cryptologic equipment, covered by Class 5810, and the other in radar equipment covered by Class 5840. Consequently the name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is an entry under each of the two classes. When an item identification bears a name which is indexed under more than one class of Group 58, or in Group 58 and in some other group, the item will be classified in the same class as its next higher assembly in the manner described in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures Manual, DoD 4100.39-M. Also excluded from this group are data transmission and communications equipment such as terminals, sensors and other devices designed for use with a configuration of ADPE.
