The intent of this document is to provide a standard means for evaluation of systems designed to remove contamination from fiber optic connector endfaces. This procedure is applicable to all single and multi-fiber connector types populated with any fiber type. Contamination trapped between mating optical connector endfaces can result in the following failure modes: Increase in attenuation Increase in return loss Permanent polished endface damage due to abrasion Permanent polished endface damage due to contamination response during higher power throughput applications It is beyond the scope of this document to define or specify cleaning systems. This document is applicable to both In-situ (bulkhead) and free connector cleaning systems.

TIA-1121.000-A "Overview for Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) TDD Air Interface Specification"

Wed, 27 May 2009 17:00:00 -0700

The requirements in this family of standards (TIA-1121) ensure that a compliant access terminal can obtain service through any access networks conforming to this specification. They are primarily oriented toward requirements necessary for the design and implementation of access terminals. As a result, detailed procedures are specified for access terminals to ensure a uniform response to all access networks. Access network procedures, however, are specified only to the extent necessary for compatibility with those specified for the access terminal. The standards include provisions for future service additions and expansion of system capabilities. The architecture defined by these standards permits such expansion without the loss of backward compatibility to older access terminals. The standards are based upon spectrum allocations that have been defined by various governmental administrations. Those wishing to deploy systems compliant with these standards should also take notice of the requirement to be compliant with the applicable rules and regulations of local administrations. Those wishing to deploy systems compliant with these standards should also take notice of the electromagnetic exposure criteria for the general public and for radio frequency carriers with low frequency amplitude modulation.
