Recommended Practice for Fiber Optic Local and Metropolitan Area Networks

This project will provide a common set of recommendations to physically configure, loss budget, and test fiber optic implementations of IEEE 802 local and metropolitan area networks. It applies to IEEE 802 implementations that incorporate led optical sources. Physical configurations will be related to standardized cable distribution systems. The loss budget design process will apply to all approved 802 multimode fiber PMD sublayers. Test methods will ensure complicance to 802 fiber optic path loss requirements and check installation integrity.
