TIA Issues Call for Interest on Two New Projects for Optical Fiber Cable Color and Components

Arlington VA. (June 26, 2017) – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-42.12 Engineering Committee on Optical Fibers and Cables and TR-42.11 Engineering Committee on Optical Systems have issued a call for interest for the following documents:

  • TIA-598-D-2 initially titled “Optical Fiber Cable Color Coding – Addendum 2, Jacket Color for Wideband Laser-Optimized 50/125 µm Multimode Fiber Cables (OM5)”. This standard will define the jacket color of cables containing TIA-492AAAE wideband multimode fiber (OM5). A distinguishing color is needed to visually identify this first multimode cable specified to support wavelength division multiplexing in the wavelength range from near 850 nm to 953 nm.
  • ANSI/TIA-568.3-D-1 initially titled “Optical Fiber Cabling Component Standard- Addendum 1 General Updates”. This standard is applicable to premises optical fiber cabling and components. The scope of this addendum includes subject matter on the following topics: use of OM5 name, use of OSIa name, color for OM5 connecting hardware, connecting hardware color definitions, reference-grade to standard-grade loss allocation, MPO testing and updates based on FOTP-171-B.

The stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: Designers; installers; building owners; building tenants.

TIA actively seeks participation in these projects from the user and general interest communities.

For more information, contact: Stephanie Montgomery, Vice President, Technology and Standards, at smontgomery@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).
