Avionics and IFE (In Flight Entertainment) Parts List

Avionics refers to all electronic systems on an aircraft. Avionics and IFE (In Flight Entertainment) Parts are incorporated on an aircraft for a multitude of purposes: communication, navigation, monitoring, flight-control systems, fuel systems, collision-avoidance systems, flight recorders, weather systems, aircraft management systems, and in-flight entertainment. This subset includes components that provide flight critical information to the pilot: electronic instrument displays, GPS, and autopilot systems. Automated systems are predominantly used in commercial aircraft and utilize avionic assemblies to complete their processes. Standard avionics systems provide information to the cockpit digital display systems: primary flight display (PFD), a multi-function flight display (MFD), global positioning system (GPS) , and an autopilot system. Avionics systems include standard aircraft electrical wiring and cabling, and fiber optic cabling.

In Flight Entertainment Systems (IFE)
IFE relies on avionics networks to maintain connectivity. Avionics for IFE purposes include in-seat display monitors, wiring, passenger control units, USB ports, etc. Components for IFE systems are typically constructed of fiber optic material or copper. 

Standards
Avionics are held to additional standards due to their importance on an aircraft. Aeronautics Radio Inc (ARINC) was formed to develop standards for avionics. The military also created their own initiatives to regulate avionics, including the Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) and the Open Systems Architecture (OSA).

Avionics and IFE (In Flight Entertainment) parts include transmitters, optical fiber, optical regenerators, and optical receivers, cables, wiring, electrical connectors, and others.
