Standards organizations such as the TIA or the ISO/IEC provide performance standards that the cabling plant must adhere to in order
to support high-speed protocols such as Gigabit Ethernet. Fiber can be tested against these standards, ensuring that it is able to
handle the high amount of traffic with a maximum amount of reliability.
These standards organizations also provide standards for administration of the cabling plant. These standards require a fiber link to be
certified; that is, a report must be generated from appropriate test equipment for tracking and auditing purposes. These reports can
also be used as verification of compliance to performance standards in case a question comes up about the quality of an installation.
These signed documents cover the installer from liability provided that the link meets specified performance standards.
Our optical fiber power meters are designed with these standards in mind because we understand the importance of qualifying your
fiber installations with standards-compliant test equipment. The meter you have just purchased also prints professionally formatted
reports showing the conformity to these popular industry standards. You can print out these reports as a record of the original
conformity to quality set by the standards. These documents signed by all associated parties may prove valuable in any future disputes
concerning the installation.
