NATO Supply Class 5895 is a classification for Miscellaneous Communication Equipment within NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Miscellaneous Communication Equipment refers to a wide range of devices and systems used for communication purposes that do not fall into specific subcategories within the group. This class includes various equipment and components that are essential for communication operations.

Some examples of equipment that fall under NATO Supply Class 5895 include:

1. Communication Switching Centers: These are devices used to establish and manage communication connections between different users or networks.

2. Communication Control Units: These units are responsible for controlling and managing communication systems, including routing and switching of signals.

3. Communication Amplifiers: These devices are used to amplify signals in communication systems, ensuring clear and reliable transmission.

4. Communication Converters: These converters are used to convert signals from one format to another, enabling compatibility between different communication systems.

5. Communication Modems: Modems are used to modulate and demodulate signals, allowing digital data to be transmitted over analog communication channels.

6. Communication Antennas: Antennas are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves, enabling wireless communication.

7. Communication Cables and Connectors: These are essential components for establishing physical connections between different communication devices.

It is important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, and there may be other equipment and components that fall under NATO Supply Class 5895. The classification system is designed to facilitate the identification and procurement of specific equipment within the broader field of communication, detection, and coherent radiation equipment.

FSC 5895 Miscellaneous Communication Equipment - Denmark (DK)

Includes Modems.

Excludes Electronic Countermeasures 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.
