OVERVIEW

AMP distribution cables are designed for routing between communications closets, intrabuilding backbones and connectoriezed communications cable. AMP cables are tested to the TIA reqiurements for optical fiber cable performance, and are designed to exceed all of the performance requriements for currunt and proposed applications sush as 100BASE-F, 155/622 Mbps ATM, AMP NETCONNECT distribution legacy LED and VCSEL The cables are available with either singlemode, 62.5 micron Extended Grande or 50-micron and 50/125 Laser Optimized (XG)

The optical fiber cable shall contain [4,6,8,12,24] tight-buffered [single-mode, 62.5-micron Extend Grade or 50- micron, 50/125-micron laser optimized XG] fibers surrounded by aramid yarns strength members, PVC jacket, TIA/EIA 598 color coded fibers for easy identification per EIA 359-A. UL/CSA rated for OFNR performance. The cable jacket shall be [yellow for single-mode or orange for multimode]. The cable shall meet the applicable performance requirements listed in the following tables.

Performance Specifications

AMP distribution fiber optic cables are designed and tested in accordance with TIA/EIA 568B, IEEE 802.3 Standard ,ISO/IEC 11801, Telcordia (Bellcore) GR-409-CORE, ITU G.652D, ICEA 596, ICEA 696 Performance specifications are measured in accordance with EIA Fiber Optic Test Procedures (EIA/TIA-455 documents) and the test procedures of IEC 60793, IEC 60794.
