a. The end-to-end value as measured with an industry-accepted laser source and power meter should have an attenuation rating of less than or equal to the following: (1) At 1310 nm: (0.35 dB/km x km of cable)+ (number of connectors x 0.50)+ (number of splices x 0.10) (2) At 1550 nm: (0.25 dB/km x km of cable)+ (number of connectors x 0.50)+ (number of splices x 0.10) b. DoIT` loss/attenuation objective for each fiber optic splice is 0.10 dB (with a 0.15 upper limit) when measured in one direction with an OTDR test set (excluding connector loss,which is typically 0.50 dB per connector) 3. Out-of-Spec Testing. Test results outside the specifications listed above shall be noted, but shall not preclude acceptance of a fiber if the out-of-spec condition does not affect transmission capability(based on use of then-prevailing telecommunications industry standards applicable to equipment generally used with the relevant type of fiber)or create a significant possibility of an outage. 17
