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.

Additional Information for Communications Security Equipment and Components Additional Information for Communications Security Equipment and Components

NATO Supply Class 5810 is a classification for Communications Security Equipment and Components within NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Communications Security Equipment and Components refer to devices and systems that are designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communication networks and information. These equipment and components play a crucial role in ensuring secure and reliable communication within military and government organizations.

Examples of Communications Security Equipment and Components that fall under NATO Supply Class 5810 include:

1. Encryption Devices: These are devices used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive information to prevent unauthorized access or interception. Encryption devices can include hardware-based encryption modules, cryptographic algorithms, and key management systems.

2. Secure Communication Systems: These systems provide secure communication channels for voice, data, and video transmission. They often incorporate encryption techniques, authentication mechanisms, and secure protocols to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the communication.

3. Secure Telephones: These are specialized telephones that provide secure voice communication by employing encryption algorithms and secure protocols. Secure telephones are commonly used in military and government organizations to protect sensitive conversations from eavesdropping.

4. Secure Network Equipment: This category includes routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices that are specifically designed to provide secure communication within a network. These devices often have built-in security features such as VPN (Virtual Private Network) support, intrusion detection systems, and access control mechanisms.

5. Cryptographic Key Management Systems: These systems are used to securely generate, store, distribute, and manage cryptographic keys. Key management is a critical aspect of communications security, as the strength and proper management of encryption keys are essential for maintaining the security of encrypted data.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 5810 is specifically focused on communications security equipment and components. Other classes within NATO Supply Group 58 cover a wide range of communication, detection, and coherent radiation equipment, including radar systems, radio communication equipment, and electronic warfare systems.

By classifying these equipment and components into specific supply classes, NATO aims to facilitate procurement, logistics, and interoperability among member nations, ensuring that the right equipment is available for military and government organizations to maintain secure and reliable communication capabilities.
