GLOSSARY
REFERENCES

Defines Bellcore's view of proposed generic requirements for the physical design that are, in the opinion of Bellcore, currently appropriate for products and equipment used in the network of a typical divested BOC. Some of the major sections addressed are requirements for: materials and finishes, product identification and markings, components and assemblies, package, repair of customer plug-in units, and tests and methods.
