- ANSI/TIA-1152-A
ANSI/TIA-1152-A defines measurement accuracy as the difference between the measured value and the actual value of a parameter.
- ANSI/TIA-526-14-D
Clause 3.1.7 of ANSI/TIA-526-14-D (2023) defines encircled flux as the share of the total near-field output power that lies within a given radius of the optical center of the core.
- ANSI/TIA-526-7-A
Clause 3.1.2 of ANSI/TIA-526-7-A (2015) treats attenuation and loss as the same quantity: the drop in optical power across the cabling under test, given as a positive decibel figure derived from the ratio of input to output power.
- ANSI/TIA-568.0-E
In ANSI/TIA-568.0-E, Cabling Subsystem 1 is the cabling that connects an equipment outlet to Distributor A, Distributor B or Distributor C; equipment cords are not part of any cabling subsystem.
- ANSI/TIA-568.1-E
Clause 3.2 of ANSI/TIA-568.1-E (2020) describes a channel as the complete transmission path between the two points where application equipment is connected, so it includes the cords that a permanent link leaves out.
- ANSI/TIA-568.2-E
ANSI/TIA-568.2-E defines the Category 8 direct attach channel as a shortened channel with a plug at each end and no connecting hardware between them, and gives it its own set of requirements in clause 6.5.
- ANSI/TIA-568.3-E
Clause 5.2.2.4 of ANSI/TIA-568.3-E (2022) distinguishes a Type-A array adapter, which mates plugs key-up to key-down, from a Type-B array adapter, which mates them key-up to key-up, and requires the two types to be distinguishable.
- ANSI/TIA-568.4-E
ANSI/TIA-568.4-E (2022) treats horizontal cabling as Cabling Subsystem 1, the run from the equipment outlet to the serving distributor, and backbone cabling as the subsystems that join distributors to one another.
- ANSI/TIA-568.5-1
In the topology clauses of ANSI/TIA-568.5 (2022), the word connector means a mated connection rather than a single plug or jack.
- ANSI/TIA-569-E
ANSI/TIA-569-E (2019) defines a cable bundle as a group of cables that are tied together or touching over a minimum length stated in the definition.
- ANSI/TIA-570-E
Clause 3.2 of ANSI/TIA-570-E (2024) defines the auxiliary disconnect outlet as a device, normally inside the dwelling unit, that lets the access provider service be connected or disconnected, with the ADO cable linking it to the distribution device or demarcation point.
- ANSI/TIA-598-D-1
Clause 3.3 of ANSI/TIA-598-D (2014) treats a group as a collection of units, such as a tube holding ribbons or a ribbon assembled from sub-ribbons, and makes group identification optional.
- ANSI/TIA-606-D
Under clause 4.2.1 of ANSI/TIA-606-D (2021), class 1 covers a premises served by a single equipment room, with no telecommunications rooms, backbone cabling or outside plant to administer.
- ANSI/TIA-758-B
ANSI/TIA-758-B (2012) describes a splice closure as the housing together with its bonding hardware and sealing materials, which must restore the electrical and mechanical integrity of the cable sheath.
