TIA Issues a Call for Interest on a New Project for IEC-60793-1-52 Optical Fibres – Part 1-52: Measurement Methods and Test Procedures - Change of Temperature

Stakeholders Invited to Contact TIA Regarding Participation.

Arlington VA. (July 14, 2015) – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-42.12 Engineering Committee on Optical Fibers and Cables has issued a call for interest for document TIA-455-234-A initially titled IEC-60793-1-52 Optical Fibres – Part 1-52: Measurement Methods and Test Procedures - Change of Temperature. TR-42.12 is developing guidelines for the adoption of the IEC document 60793-1-52 on Measurement Methods and Test Procedures - Change of Temperature This part of IEC 60793 provides a practical method for evaluating fibre performance in a defined environment. The purpose of this standard is to define a test that determines the suitability of optical fibres (types A1a to A1d and B1 to B4) to withstand the environmental condition of changes in temperature which may occur in actual use, storage and/or transport.

The stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: Fiber optic and cabled fiber and component manufacturers.

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 Germaine Palangdao at standards@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). Visit tiaonline.org.
