MIL-STD-188-154-SUP Subsystem, Equipment, and Interface Standards for Common Long Haul and Tactical Telecommunications Control FacilitiesThis standard establishes physical and functional interface requirements for long haul and tactical telecommunications control facilities formerly technical control facilities in the Department of Defense DoD. As used in this standard, the term telecommunications control facility TCF includes patch and test facilities PTFs and interfaces to locations that provide centralized monitoring and control functions for other telecommunication locations.
