A Duplexer is an item which permits a transmitter and receiver to operate on the same frequency with a single transmission line and/or antenna. It effects a mismatch in the receiver section when the transmitter is operating and restores matching when the transmitter is quiescent. See also BLANKER (as modified); and DIPLEXER.

What is a Multiplexer?

A Multiplexer is an item designed to combine two or more simultaneous intelligence signals for transmission over a single transmission facility. Includes both time division and frequency division types or combinations thereof. Does not include the transmission facilities.

What is an Electronic Frequency Converter?

An Electronic Frequency Converter (CONVERTER,FREQUENCY,ELECTRONIC) is an electronic device having frequency mixing circuits and an integral oscillator which mixes the incoming frequency(ies) with the oscillator frequency, the resultant frequency(ies) being a combination of the two sources. Includes equipment that performs these functions at either radio or power line frequencies. Excludes items that change frequency by means of rotating equipment or rectifier and switching or keying circuitry.

What is an Interconnecting Box?

An Interconnecting Box is an inclosure which includes mounts and protects such items as switches, circuit breakers, jacks, fuseholders, connectors, terminals and/or terminal boards, resistors, capacitors, transformers, and the like. It is primarily designed to interconnect two or more electrical and/or electronic items, except primary power source(s) such as generator(s) and battery(ies). It may include a cover or door. For inclosures which connect one or more primary power source(s) to one or more electrical and/or electronic item(s), see DISTRIBUTION BOX. See also CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX; TERMINAL BOX and INTERCONNECTING CABINET.

What is a Communication System?

A Communication System is a network or system consisting of two or more sets or nodes (computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, switches, routers or various other devices) capable of sending, receiving, or forwarding information (may include a transceiver). May be wireless, mobile, or fixed, and have the capability to operate on different frequencies.

What is an Electronic Equipment Parts Kit?

An Electronic Equipment Parts Kit (PARTS KIT,ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT) is do not use if a more specific item name is applicable.

What is a Communications Modem?

A Communications Modem (MODEM,COMMUNICATIONS) is an item which modulates and demodulates one or more electrical signals. It connects data terminal equipment to a communication line or network such as telephone, radio or telegraph. It may include the multiplexing and demultiplexing circuits, circuit amplifiers and source(s) of carrier frequency. For items designed for light signals, see MODEM, FIBER OPTIC.

What is an Electronic Communications Equipment Case?

An Electronic Communications Equipment Case (CASE,ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT) is a case specifically designed for electronic communications equipment. It may be designed to protect against shock and vibration.

What is a Communication Equipment Interface Unit?

A Communication Equipment Interface Unit (INTERFACE UNIT,COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT) is a self-contained item or group of items, which permit the transfer of information between various types of communications support equipment and/or systems. Adjustment, monitoring, and display functions may be included. Excludes MODEM (as modified).

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 - New Zealand (NZ)

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.
