1、 TIASTANDARDGeneric Specification for OpticalFiber SplicesTIA-6090000JULY 2000TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONRepresenting the telecommunications industry inassociation with the Electronic Industries Alliance TIA-6090000NOTICETIA/EIA Engineering Standards and Publications are designed to serv
2、e the public interest through eliminatingmisunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and improvement ofproducts, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for hisparticular need. Existence of such Standard
3、s and Publications shall not in any respect preclude any member ornonmember of TIA/EIA from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such Standards and Publications,nor shall the existence of such Standards and Publications preclude their voluntary use by those other than TIA/EIAmembers,
4、whether the standard is to be used either domestically or internationally.Standards and Publications are adopted by TIA/EIA in accordance with the American National Standards Institute(ANSI) patent policy. By such action, TIA/EIA does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does itassume a
5、ny obligation whatever to parties adopting the Standard or Publication. TIA STANDARDSTIA Standards contain information deemed to be of technical value to the industry, and are published at the requestof the originating Committee without necessarily following the rigorous public review and resolution
6、 of commentswhich is a procedural part of the development of an ANS Standard.TIA Standards should be reviewed every five years by the formulating Committee and a decision made on whether toproceed to develop an ANS Standard on this subject. Suggestions for revision should be directed to: Standards h
