FIBER OPTIC DRAWING SYMBOLOGY
FIBER OPTIC DRAWING SYMBOLOGY
(OP)
IS THERE SOMEWHERE THAT I CAN FIND DRAWING STANDARDS (IF THEY EXIST) FOR MAKING INTERCONNECTION DRAWINGS FOR FIBER OPTIC CABLES? CONNECTORS, FIBER NUMBERING/LABELING/COLOR CODING ETC.





RE: FIBER OPTIC DRAWING SYMBOLOGY
1) Although there are no "standardized" symbols, two sources you might research are:
A. ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A, Administration Standard for Commercial Telecommunications Infrastructure, Dtd May 16, 2002.
B. Fiber Optic Reference Guide, by David R. Goff, third edition. This book is published by Focal Press www.focalpress.com.
2) Optical Fiber color coding is addressed in ANSI/TIA/EIA-598-A, Optical Fiber Cable Color Coding.
3) AS for the labeling, administration, etc., consult ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A listed above.
All the ANSI/TIA/EIA Documents shown are available from:
Global Engineering Documents (800) 854-7179 www.global.ihs.com.
