289.0. "Standard for SMF cable ?" by BONNET::LISSDANIELS () Mon Jun 24 1991 05:50

In oder to get the PTT to provide a Single Mode connection for a customer
we need to provide a standards specification for our preferred single mode fiber.

Is there any official standards number I can give for the 9 Micron SMF ?
I'm thinking of CCITT or ANSI documents.

Thank you,

	Our product will work with single-mode optical fibers that are compliant with the following specifications: CCITT Recommendation G.652 IEC International Standarf 793-2, Type B1 An ANSI specification for this fiber type is currently in a letter ballot form. The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and the Telecommunication Industries Association (TIA) have a Project Number for this work (PN-2378). When the document is put out for final ballot it will have a Standards Proposal number (SP-2378). The timing for issuance as a Standards Proposal is uncertain. This is because I have to generate a variant of the specification to meet some new requirements of the Inspectorate, so that the product can be qualified according to their practice. This new variant will not alter any of the physical or optical characteristics of the fiber. It is merely defining qualification and conformance test levels, sampling plan issues, part numbering details, etc. When the document passes all these hurdles, it will be assigned an ANSI/EIA/TIA number. (Probably 492BAAA, but don't use that as it doesn't exist yet) So use the CCITT and/or the IEC documents. Dick Kirk FDDI Optics Network Systems Engineering
