Optical Fiber Digital Transmission Systems Considerations for Users and Suppliers

Purpose and Scope
This document provides engineering, operational, and maintenance
guidance to users and suppliers of Optical Fiber Digital
Transmission Systems for telecommunications applications. The
function of the fiber systems considered in this document is to
relay digital signals between defined digital interfaces via an
optical fiber link. The information presented applies to optical
fiber systems using multimode graded or step index fibers.
Single-mode systems are under consideration and will be
incorporated in a future issue of this document. Bidirectional
systems, in which both directions of transmission use a common
optical fiber, will also be considered in a future issue of this
document.
As is evident from the title, the major purpose of this document
is to provide considerations and guidelines for users and suppliers
of optical fiber digital transmission systems. Consequently, terms
such as "required" and "should be specified" accompanying certain
parameters and items, are used in the context of emphasizing the
importance of these parameters/items to users and suppliers. The
availability of the data to satisfy system parameters, for the
purposes of this document, are considered negotiable between the
supplier and the user.
Certain examples are presented to clarify concepts and to
illustrate order of magnitude. The numbers presented in these
examples are illustrative only and should not be considered as
requirements for system design or performance.
