During the fire tests, the data cables are evaluated for their abilityto maintain error free data transfer and retrieval at the specified protocol and data rates. Following the firetest,

33、the assembly shall be subjected to a hose stream test.1.5 The fire exposure and hose stream tests are not intended to be representative of all fire conditionsand impact conditions, respectively. It is likely that conditions will vary with changes in the amount, nature,distribution of fire loading, v
