Data record `std.tia-568-3-e.structure.single-mode-constructions`

Verified 2026-10-25 Confidence: Medium

ANSI/TIA-568.3-E (2022) recognizes three single-mode cable designs, inside plant, outside plant and indoor-outdoor, and assigns each its own maximum attenuation coefficient, so the permitted attenuation for single-mode fiber varies with how the cable is built, not just with its category.
