FSC 5815 Teletype and Facsimile Equipment

Includes Ticker Tape and Sigtot Equipment.

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.

Additional Information for Teletype and Facsimile Equipment Additional Information for Teletype and Facsimile Equipment

NATO Supply Class 5815 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5815 focuses on Teletype and Facsimile Equipment. Teletype equipment refers to devices used for transmitting and receiving printed messages over long distances, typically using telegraph or telephone lines. Facsimile equipment, on the other hand, is used for transmitting and reproducing documents or images electronically.

Within this supply class, you can find various types of teletype and facsimile equipment, including teleprinters, telefax machines, and related accessories. These devices are commonly used in military and civilian communication systems to facilitate the exchange of information.

The NATO Supply Classification System is used by NATO member countries to standardize the identification and categorization of military and defense-related equipment. It helps ensure interoperability and efficient logistics support among NATO forces.

If you need more specific information about a particular type of teletype or facsimile equipment within NATO Supply Class 5815, please let me know.
