Stakeholders Invited to Contact TIA Regarding Participation.
Arlington VA. (Nov. 17, 2020) – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-42.12 Engineering Committee on Optical Fibers and Cables has issued a call for interest for document ANSI/TIA-492AAAF-A initially titled ” ANSI/TIA-PN-492AAAF-A Detailed specification for class 1a graded-index multimode optical fibers; modification of IEC 60793-2-10:2019″. TR-42.12 is developing guidelines in the area defined by the following scope: ” Revise the TIA fiber designations in ANSI/TIA-492AAAF per contribution TR42.12-2020-10-007. The modifications may include: In Table II of foreword, modify TIA column heading to “ANSI/TIA-492AAAF”. Modify all designations to be identical to IEC 60793-2-10:2019 designations and include former TIA document numbers. In Table 1 of document, add former TIA document numbers and associated designations in the TIA category/class column. I.e. Ia (ANSI/TIA-492AAAA) and Ia (ANSI/TIA-492AAAB).”
The stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: TR-42.1, TR-42.11, TR-42.13, IEC 86B, IEC 86C, ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC25/WG3, end-users, installers, designers of optical fiber cabling systems.
TIA is actively seeking participation in these projects from the user and general interest communities.
For more information about TR-42 and how to participate in standards development with TIA, contact Cheryl Thibideau at standards-process@tiaonline.org.
A major function of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is the writing and maintenance of voluntary industry standards and specifications. These activities are carried out by the volunteer members of TIA engineering committees. On the public engineering committee pages, users will find recent meeting reports, agendas and notices for upcoming meetings, as well as links to some of the most popular standards from each committee. TIA is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
