NECA Publishes Updated Fiber Optic Standard
NECA/FOA 301-2004, Standard for Installing and Testing Fiber Optic Cables (ANSI) is the latest publication in the National Electrical Installation Standard (NEIS)® series from NECA.
Fiber optic entrepreneur and author Jim Hayes, who is also president of the Fiber Optic Association (FOA), was principal author of this new second edition of NECA/FOA 301.
"Fiber has continued its growth as a communications medium, and more installers today are doing fiber optic work," he observed. "This standard provides them with up-to-date information on how to properly install fiber optic networks to meet appropriate codes, standards, and performance requirements. The Fiber Optic Association is proud to have worked with NECA to make this technical information available to everyone."
NEIS are the first performance and workmanship standards for electrical construction, and are approved by the American National Standards Institute. ANSI-approved technical documents are generally regarded as being the "official" U.S. standard on any given subject. NECA/FOA 301-2004 is the 27th volume of the National Electrical Installation Standards series.
