Re: PMD Objectives




Scott,

The rationale for providing the distance granularity in the internet data
center and
the central office was to stimulate debate on the target distances and to
clearly identify
the topologies.

The generic cabling (ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568) topologies and
distances are understood and therefore the granularity was not provided.

1. 300 meters covers the centralized fiber optic cabling distances which
includes
the horizontal.

2. A 300 meter solution can be applied to the 100 meter distance.

Regards,

Chris
