Requirements Checklists Analysis for Verizon Approved Test Plans Vijay Jain DMTS – SIT Verizon Technology Organization E-mail: Vijay.x.Jain@Verizon.com
Purpose: • To evaluate all the requirements for what needs to be tested within a GR • To make sure that all the labs are performing all the required tests • To provide a level playing field to all the labs Scope: • Requirements Checklists of all the Verizon approved test plans. • Test methodologies are not covered. • PFOC memos (including Punch Lists) are not covered. • It is a comparison study, therefore only those GRs are covered for which more than one lab is approved
GR’s Addressed • GR-326: Generic Requirements for Singlemode Optical Connectors and Jumper Assemblies, Issue 3, September 1999 • GR-1435: Generic Requirements for Multi-Fiber Optical Connectors, Issue 1, October 1994 • GR-1081: Generic Requirements for Field-Mountable Optical Fiber Connectors, Issue 1, January 1995 • GR-910: Generic Requirements for Fiber Optic Attenuators, Issue 2, December 1998 • GR-1222: Generic Requirements for Fiber Optic Terminators, Issue 1, November 1995 • GR-1209: Generic Requirements for Passive Optical Components, Issue 3, March 2001 • GR-1221: Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Passive Optical Components, Issue 2 January 1999 • GR-20: Generic Requirements for Optical Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable, Issue 2, July 1998
GR’s Addressed continued … • GR-409: Generic Requirements for Premises Fiber Optic Cable, Issue 1, May 1994 • GR-771: Generic Requirements for Fiber Optic Splice Closures, Issue 1, July 1994 • TR-949: Generic Requirements for Service Terminal Closures Used with Optical Cable, Issue 1, June 1990. • GR-2898: Generic Requirements for Fiber Demarcation Boxes, Issue 2, December 1999 • GR-449: Generic Requirements and Design Considerations for Fiber Distributing Frames, Issue 1, March 1995. • GR-950: Generic Requirements for Optical Network Unit (ONU) Closures, Issue 2, December 1998 • GR-2854: Generic Requirements for Fiber Optic Dispersion Compensators, Issue 2, December 1997 • GR-765: Generic Requirements for Single Fiber Single-Mode Optical Splices and Splicing Systems, Issue 1, September 1995.

GR-1221: Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Passive Optical Components (35%) continued …
GR-1221: Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Passive Optical Components (35%) continued …
GR-20: Generic Requirements for Optical Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable (4%)
GR-409: Generic Requirements for Premises Fiber Optic Cable (4%)
GR-771: Generic Requirements for Fiber Optic Splice Closures (10%)
GR-771: Generic Requirements for Fiber Optic Splice Closures, (10%) continued … • Verizon has updated its test requirements for GR-771. • A PFOC memo (punch list) has been issued to address all the new test requirements.
TR-949: Generic Requirements for Service Terminal Closures Used with Optical Cable • Replaced by GR-771: Generic Requirements for Fiber Optic Splice Closures, Issue 1, July 1994 • Verizon has updated its test requirements for GR-771. • A PFOC memo (punch list) has been issued to address all the new test requirements.
GR-2898: Generic Requirements for Fiber Demarcation Boxes (5%)
GR-2898: Generic Requirements for Fiber Demarcation Boxes (5%) continued ..
GR-449: Generic Requirements and Design Considerations for Fiber Distributing Frames • Only one lab is approved at this time.
GR-950: Generic Requirements for Optical Network Unit (ONU) Closures (3%)
GR-2854: Generic Requirements for Fiber Optic Dispersion Compensators • Only one lab is approved at this time.
GR-765: Generic Requirements for Single Fiber Single-Mode Optical Splices and Splicing Systems • Only one lab is approved at this time.
Summary • Major Discrepancies found in following test areas: • Fungus resistance (Zero rating) • Oxygen Index (28% or greater) • Flammability (UL ratings) • Intermateability • Glass Transition • GR-63 Fire • GR-63 Vibration (Office, EQ, Transportation) • Color (TIA-598 and 359) • Bend Radius • Crafts Person Interaction, etc. • Entire sections are missing • Requirements are not marked • Comment section states to see Note xyz. However, there is none.
Summary continued … • To avoid ambiguity, test must be marked “TEST” ONLY. Do not mark it “Verify” or “Analyze” or “Inspect” as well. • Some of the requirements may not be applicable for a product; mark it “Not Applicable” in the test report. Don’t change it to verify or analyze or inspect. • Make sure that all the PFOC memos are implemented in the test plans as an addendum or a new revision.
Summary continued … Deviation does not mean that some tests are not conducted e.g., Section 4 requirements of GR-771 need test results from section 5.
Summary continued … • Correct/update all test plans. Send one set of the test plan (soft and hard copy) to Tom Amatulli and one set to Vijay Jain/Tony Ali. Please update the revision history. • To make sure that every lab is using the same sample size and type; provide sample size details for each Test Plan. • Address: 320 St. Paul Place, Floor 14 Baltimore, MD 21202 • Q & A
