Titan Termination Data Control and Interconnection Cabling

The automation of termination data to control equipment interconnection cabling was a major contribution to the on-time activation of Titan I ICBM hardsites. In all, more than 700,000 terminations were controlled by automated programming of the variables that influence cable design and routing. This program enabled prefabricating the 52 miles of cabling required for each Titan site; a total of 1350 different multiconductor cable configurations are represented in the 6600 cables provided. Automated termination data control and the successful installation of 99.9% of the factory-fabricated cables were noted milestones in the Titan I activation program.
