Abstract :
To address the need for better agreement between test sets and to provide a conservative measurement, standards formulating committees in both TIA and IEC have been developing new launch conditions for the purpose of measuring the loss of installed 50-mum and 62.5-mum multimode cabling. After more than two years of development, this work is leading to revisions of multiple existing standards that may serve both enterprise and avionics environments.
