The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-42.12 Engineering Committee on Optical Fibers and Cables issued a call for interest for document ANSI/TIA-492CAAC initially titled “ANSI/TIA-492CAAC Detail Specification for class IVA dispersion un-shifted single-mode optical fibers with low water peak.” This standard includes modifications of IEC 60793-2-50:2015, optical fibers – part 2-50, and product and sectional specifications for class B single-mode fibers. The committee is developing guidelines to enable class B single-mode fibers that are defined by “Scope: Adapt IEC 60793-2-50:2015 as ANSI/TIA-492CAAC.”
