CSA T568.1-3-05 (R2010):2005 Edition

This is the first edition of CSA T568.1-3, Commercial building telecommunications cabling standard – Part 1: General requirements – Addendum 3 – Supportable distances and channel attenuation for optical fiber applications by fiber type.

This Standard is an adoption of the identically titled ANSI/TIA (American National Standards Institute/Telecommunications Industry Association) Standard 568-B.1-3-2003 and is the product of the Telecommunications Industry Association TR-42 Technical Committee, which included a number of Canadian members in order to ensure that Canadian perspectives and requirements were addressed.

It is written in SI (metric) units with yard/pound (imperial) units in parentheses.

SCOPE

This addendum applies to the supportable distances and channel attenuation for optical fiber applications by fiber type.

This addendum supplements the information contained in table E-1. Two new applications (10/100BASE-SX and 10G Ethernet) and one new fiber type (850-nm laser-optimized 50/125-µm multimode fiber) are addressed in table 1.
