41.0. "Who lays the cable?" by BONNET::HARDY () Tue Mar 13 1990 12:21

    I'm interested in DEC's official and local practices concerning who
    lays the fibre.
    
    Could people please enter information concerning the following
    
    * Do we have any system of appoving installers of cable,
    
    * Do we have approved acceptance procedures
    
    * Who maintains (eg tests, changes etc) the cable
    
    * What recommendations do we make re cable provision (eg backbone only,
    how many cables, etc)
    
    * What are acceptable points of demarcation (eg fibre only, fibre +
    Third party concentrators, etc)
    
    * Are these local office, country or corporate decisions?
    
    * Do we treat cable as one issue (eg DECsite) and FDDI as something
    completely seperate (eg EIS)
    
    * anything else relating to cable provision issues
    
    
    Many thanks in advance

    Peter:
    
    .1 is absolutely correct.  We at NWSS will design, supply materials
    for, install, and maintain the FDDI cableplant.  We will also supply
    non-DEC products if needed - for example if a customer needs an FDDI
    to Token Ring bridge and wants a single vendor solution.
