4.5.2.2.1 Type II cables. During examination of type II cables for material, splices, and coverage of
shielding, the sheath shall be removed from the cable, and inspection of shielding shall be performed in

4.6 Control tests.
4.6.1 Sampling. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), a sample of cable of length sufficient to
perform the tests specified in 4.6.2 shall be selected after the first 500 feet of cable of a given defense
PIN has been produced. Thereafter, two samples of the length specified above shall be selected every
month throughout the duration of the contract, except that a length shall not be selected for control testing
until 50,000 feet of cable, having the same defense PIN has been produced since the last control sample
length was taken. If there has been limited production for a specific product for a period of two years, the
qualifying activity has the option of requiring the manufacturer to perform periodic control tests. If there
has been no production for a specific product for a period of two years, the qualifying activity has the
option of requiring the manufacturer to perform periodic control tests prior to the next shipment of product.
4.6.2 Control tests. Each sample selected specified in 4.6.1 shall be identified as to production
period and shall be cut into three 2-foot specimens and two 3-foot specimens. Each 2-foot specimen
shall be subjected to a different test specified in 4.7.4.8 and subsequently to the tests specified in 4.7.4.6
and 4.7.4.2 in that order. One 3-foot specimen shall be subjected to the tests specified in 4.7.4.5 and
4.7.4.2 in that order. The other 3-foot specimen shall be subjected to the test specified in 4.7.4.10 and
subsequently to the test specified in 4.7.4.2.
