2 Liz to update Fiber Optics LAN Section Overview: Part of the Telecommunications Industry Association ( Formed 18 years ago Mission: To educate users about the benefits of deploying fiber in customer-owned networks FOLS provides vendor-neutral information

3 Fiber Optics LAN Section Current Members 3M AFL/Noyes Fiber Systems Berk-Tek, a Nexans Company Corning CommScope Fluke Networks General Cable Leviton OFS Prysmian Group Sumitomo Electric Lightwave Superior Essex TE Connectivity

4 Fiber Optics LAN Section Recent Webinars Available on Demand Fiber Trends, Standards and Applications From Green to Sustainable Electronic Information Technology Systems - How the STEP Rating System Can Get Us There Visit or our channel on BrightTalk for a full list of available webinars.

5 Objectives Overview of Standards Fiber Focus Recent events and activities of TIA TR-42 Subcommittees Most recent meetings held in early February 2012 Review the recent events and activities of some LAN application subcommittees

6 Standards Overview What is the process for developing a standard? Projects are proposed and must be approved Contributions are reviewed Draft documents are created then balloted to remove or resolve contentious issues With consensus, the document is released for publication Can take a few months or many years

7 Standards Overview What is the process for revising a standard? Maximum 5-year lifespan for standards Must be revised, re-affirmed or withdrawn Addenda may be added to keep the document growing with advances in technology Addenda may then be incorporated into the new revision of the standard.

8 Ballot Process New Project Create Draft Committee Ballot Ballot Comment Resolution Industry Ballot Process Ballot Comment Resolution Industry Ballot Reballot or Industry? New Draft Committee Ballot Process Reballot or Default? New Draft Published Standard Default Ballot Ballot Comment Resolution Reballot or Final? Final Default Ballot

9 Engineering Committee TIA TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems Develops and maintains voluntary telecommunications standards for telecommunications cabling infrastructure in user-owned buildings Covers requirements for copper and optical fiber cabling components (such as cables, connectors and cable assemblies), installation, and field testing

10 Common Standards Premises Standards Component Standards TR-42 Documents Common Standards End-users Broadly Applicable Premises Standards End-users Narrow Focus Exceptions/Allowances to Common Standards Component Standards Manufacturers Related Standards FOTPs Fiber Specifications ANSI/TIA-568-C.0 (Generic) TIA-569 (Pathways and spaces) ANSI/TIA-606 (Administration) ANSI/TIA-607 (Bonding and grounding [earthing]) ANSI/TIA-758 (Outside plant) ANSI/TIA-862 (Building automation systems) ANSI/TIA-568-C.1 (Commercial) ANSI/TIA-570 (Residential) ANSI/TIA-942 (Data centers) ANSI/TIA-1005 (Industrial) ANSI/TIA-1179 (Healthcare) ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 (Balanced twistedpair cabling and components) ANSI/TIA-568-C.3 (Optical fiber cabling components) ANSI/TIA-568-C.4 (Coaxial cabling and components) Figure 1 Illustrative relationship between the TIA-568-C Series and other relevant TIA standards

11 TR-42.1 Subcommittee on Generic Cabling and Commercial Building Cabling

12 TR42.1 Summary 568-C.0 Generic Structured Cabling Addendum 1 - Updated References for Balanced Twisted-Pair (PUBLISHED) Addendum 2 General Updates (Publication was approved after 2 nd default ballot comments were resolved) 568-D series discussion underway

13 TR42.1 Summary TIA-942-A Data Centers default ballot comments resolved (Industry Ballot) Needs to go to a 2 nd default ballot Data Center Fabric Task Group reviewed a first draft of TIA-942-A-1 Addendum describes a variety of data center fabric architectures described in industry white papers and switch manufacturers

14 TR42.1 Summary Large Building Task Group renamed to Places of Assembly Task Group with work to continue Focus on Places of Assembly will be as follows: A-1 fixed seating typically performing arts, theatres etc, A-2 food/drink consumption restaurants A-3 places of assembly/recreation/amusement/worship or other assembly (e.g. passenger terminals) A-4 sports/spectator (indoor) A-5 outdoor venues Educational facilities task group continuing development of a first draft document

15 TR-42.3 Subcommittee on Telecommunication Pathways & Spaces

16 TR42.3 Summary TIA-569-C: Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces Document is scheduled to be published during Q1, 2012 TIA-569-C-1 Addendum Project Project request approved to begin work on reviewing ASHRAE new environmental limits as described in the new ASHRAE whitepaper Document will go out as committee ballot Q2, 2012

17 TR-42.7 Subcommittee on Copper Cabling Components

18 TR-42.7 Summary TIA-1183 Test Methods and Fixtures to 1000 MHz was approved for publication Next Gen (connector and cable) task groups were combined to investigate specific performance metrics Two draft proposals were discussed for TIA-568-C.2-1 (next Generation Cabling) No further discussion about adding ISO/IEC Class F (Category 7) cabling to TIA-568-C.2

19 TR42.7 Summary Was agreed to form a new joint task group with TR-42.9 to create a response to the end-to-end link qualification Potential problems with current end-to-end link at plug and jack/equipment connection Link cabling survey was inconclusive and results varied significantly TG agreed survey became too burdensome to achieve any meaningful results Sent survey initiative back to TR-42.7 and allow it to focus on copper media

20 TR-42.9 Subcommittee on Industrial Premises Cabling

21 TR-42.9 Summary TIA-1005-A: Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Industrial Premises Document was approved for publication (Projected Q2, 2012)

22 TR Subcommittee on Optical Fiber Systems

23 TR Summary Key topic of discussion for this group is encircled flux Encircled flux round robin in progress Draft TSB which provides a users guide to MM launch conditions discussed Document Maintenance TSB-172 on high data rate multimode fiber transmission techniques will be revised

24 TR Subcommittee on Optical Fiber and Cable

25 TR Summary Key topic of discussion for this group has been bend insensitive multimode fiber Core parameter definitions, connection loss, bandwidth Revision proposals to multimode core size and numerical aperture measurement were discussed Agreed to rescind the old TIA-492-series which are the detailed SM fiber specifications and adapt IEC

26 TR Summary Documents underway (major) FOTP-28, dynamic tension; major revision, ballot FOTP-204, MM bandwidth; adopt IEC ; ballot TIA-598, cable color coding; revision ballot FOTP-7, numerical aperture; revision ballot FOTP-220, DMD measurement; revision, adopt IEC

27 TR Subcommittee on Passive Optical Devices and Fiber Optic Metrology

28 TR Summary New TSB-4947 on Adhesives Guidelines has been reviewed and will be submitted for ballot Return loss calibration task group presented a proposal for reflectance artifact

29 LAN Applications Update

30 LAN Application Update IEEE (4 active projects in IEEE 802.3) Next Generation 100 Gb/s Optical Ethernet Study Group IEEE Extended EPON Study Group 100 Gb/s Backplane and Copper Cable Task Force EPON Protocol over a Coax (EPoC) PHY Study Group

31 LAN Application Update IEEE NG 100G (Study Group formed in July 2011) There is a market need for higher density front panel interfaces to support bandwidth growth demand and to reduce cost and power of 100G optics: Module electrical Interface density can be increased MMF port density can be increased SMF port density can be increased
