1573.0. "DEC fiber cable specs?" by CGOOA::PITULEY (Ain't technology wonderful?) Fri Feb 03 1995 10:52

    HI.
    
    I have looked high and low in our office, including logistics, old
    manuals and the district support guys and found nothing on this.
    
    What I need is some specs for an old DEC cable....this is two fiber
    cable from about 8 years ago.  The DEC P/N is 17-00333-01.
    
    A customer had this installed about 8 years ago with FSMA connectors on
    it and now wants to change to ST connectors...he needs to know the size
    of the cable.
    
    Thanks in advance for any help.

1573.1Old 100/140 micron fiberNPSS::KIRKFri Feb 03 1995 12:3812
    My copy of the 17-00333-01 spec indicates that this cable contains 
    100/140 micron optical fiber.  That's 100 micron core diameter, and
    140 micron cladding diameter.  Your customer can probably get STs
    for this, but I'd really make sure that the fiber is suitable for
    the application.
    
    I haven't got the complete specs on the fiber - tha spec I found is for
    the cable.  I can dig it up if you need more information.

    WONDERFUL!!!!  Talk about quick response!  The customer was happy with
    the info and I also put the bug in his ear about the old fiber's
    suitability for continuing use.....we'll see what happens.  He *might*
    call back for full specs......
    
    Thank you !
