Just bag it.


The original shipping containers are the best place to keep spare parts Spare parts, also referred to as Service Parts is a term used to indicate extra parts available and in proximity to the mechanical item, such as a automobile, boat, engine, for which they might be used.

Spare parts are also called “spares.

2. Sealable without the application of moisture: a self-sealing envelope.
 bags. These bags keep dirt, dust, sand and moisture away from small commo parts in the field.

The plastic bags protect small items like connectors, cables, fuses, o-rings, handsets, microphones and batteries.

And because the bags are clear, you can tell at a glance what's inside them.

Don't forget, plastic bags have a high static charge. Never use them to store circuit cards, transistors, resistors or any other device sensitive to electrostatic discharge (hardware, testing) Electrostatic Discharge - (ESD) One kind of test that hardware usually has to pass to prove it is suitable for sale and use. The hardware must still work after is has been subjected to some level of electrostatic discharge.  (ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine. See ESL. ). There are special anti-static bags for ESD sensitive items.

Also, when you bag an item, squeeze the air out of the bag before you seal it to cut down on condensation.

When it comes to ordering the installation kit for the Frequency Hopping A wireless modulation method that rapidly changes the center frequency of a transmission. See spread spectrum and 802.11.  Multiplexer See multiplexor and multiplexing.

 (FHMUX FHMUX Frequency Hopping Multiplexer ), TD-1456, the length of the cables matters.

Each of the five FHMUX installation kits comes with four cables. All the kits have one cable in common. That's one electrical radio frequency cable assembly, CG-3856/VRC, NSN NSN National Stock Number

 5995-01-437-8856. It's 12 feet long.

But the other three cables in all five kits are the same length within their kit, but are different lengths than in the other kits.

One kit has 6-ft cables; one has 12-ft cables; one has 18-ft cables; one has 24-ft cables; and one has 30-ft cables.

The kit you need to order is determined by the length of cable you need to do the job.
Here's a list of some of the available sizes:
