Glossary
Index

Gives view of proposed generic requirements for Remote Fiber Testing Systems (RFTSs) used to remotely measure optical fibers in the outside plant portions of a typical telecommunications service provider's optical network. It includes requirements and objectives, and performance tests to compare remote fiber testing systems against those stated requirements and objectives.
