Glossary

Gives Telcordia's view of proposed generic criteria and characteristics for dispersion test sets for characterization of optical fibers. May be in the laboratory or factory for uncabled or cabled fiber. Includes requirements, objectives and performance tests for comparison of dispersion test sets against stated requirements and objectives. Supplies criteria for analysis of a chromatic dispersion test set and includes generic operation, mechanical and performance criteria and performance tests for comparison of chromatic dispersion test sets against the stated criteria. Supplies glossary for definition of important terms.
