TIA Issues Call for Interest on new Project for FOTP-225 IEC 61745 End-Face Image Analysis Procedure for the Calibration of Optical Fibre Geometry Test Sets

Stakeholders Invited to Contact TIA Regarding Participation.

Arlington VA. (December 03, 2014) – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-42.13 Engineering Committee on Passive Optical Devices and Fiber Optic Metrology has issued a call for interest for document TIA-455-225 initially titled FOTP-225 IEC 61745 End-Face Image Analysis Procedure for the Calibration of Optical Fibre Geometry Test Sets. This standard will address the calibration of measurements made on single-mode fibres only; however, this type of test set may also be used to measure the geometrical parameters of the cores of multimode fibres, but evaluation of uncertainties associated with these measurements is beyond the scope of this standard."

The stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: Manufacturers and users of fiber optics cables.

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.
