Home / Technical Measures for Optical Cables
163 describes criteria for the installation of optical fibre cables defined in Recommendation ITU-T L. Lead-in fiber is a commercially available OTDR accessory with a connector on one end to match the OTDR network interface and a connector on the other end to match the connector encountered on the fiber under test. This work materialized through the development of good practices, procedures and specifications documents, reflecting a certain state of the art at a given time, and the result of a consensus of all stakeholders (op lable.
Here we list some of the international and national standards that govern optical cable characteristics and measurement methods. This may not be a complete list, but it covers most of the standard bodies.
