<strong>Telcordia</strong> <strong>Generic</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong>: <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Offers</strong> Issue 3, September 2011<br />

Harmonize with industry standards - e.g., SCTE, ANSI, NEC, UL, and other recognized<br />

industry groups.<br />

Help ensure mechanical and hardware compatibility through reference to several of the<br />

other <strong>GR</strong> documents concerning connectors, termination ports, and interconnection<br />

devices.<br />

Help ensure electrical compatibility and protection coordination through reference to <strong>GR</strong><br />

documents such as <strong>GR</strong>-2908, <strong>Generic</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong> for Surge Protectors on Coaxial Lines<br />

at Customer Premises, and <strong>GR</strong>-2910, <strong>Generic</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong> for Bonding and Grounding<br />

Hardware on Coaxial Drop Cable, as well as other <strong>GR</strong> documents such as the latest issue<br />

of <strong>GR</strong>-1089, Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety - <strong>Generic</strong> Criteria for<br />

Network Telecommunications Equipment.<br />

This <strong>GR</strong> will be coordinated and harmonized with the recent revisions to the metallic twistedpair<br />

cable products used in similar applications and environments (e.g., <strong>GR</strong>-421, <strong>Generic</strong><br />

<strong>Requirements</strong> for Metallic Telecommunications Cables; <strong>GR</strong>-3163, <strong>Generic</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong> for<br />

Metallic Telecommunications Service and Distribution Drop Wires; and <strong>GR</strong>-3164, <strong>Generic</strong><br />

<strong>Requirements</strong> for Metallic Telecommunications Premises Wires). <strong>GR</strong>-3163 and <strong>GR</strong>-3164 will<br />

be used to help define effective functional performance requirements for the cable<br />

applications in indoor/outdoor environments, as well as common jacket material requirements<br />

that both products share.<br />

Planned technical items for this new <strong>GR</strong> include the following:<br />

1. Consolidate numerous coaxial cable applications into a single <strong>GR</strong>.<br />

2. Update material choices for cable jacket and insulation materials, and harmonize with<br />

recent work on <strong>GR</strong>-3164 (inside cables) and <strong>GR</strong>-421 (PIC cables).<br />

3. Update the Quality Assurance subsection in Section 2 to include the latest Quality<br />

Management System (QMS) philosophy, including ISO9000 and TL 9000 approaches to<br />

product quality and reliability issues.<br />

4. Revise the packaging subsections in Section 3 to harmonize with <strong>GR</strong>-421 and <strong>GR</strong>-3164.<br />

5. Update referenced procedures while bringing necessary technical information explicitly<br />

into the new <strong>GR</strong>. Where possible and appropriate, requirements shall be harmonized with<br />

relevant SCTE and UL industry standards.<br />

6. Update jacket and dielectric materials requirements to create functional performance<br />

criteria and move away from implicit material-specific requirements.<br />

7. The <strong>Telcordia</strong> Technical Forum (TTF) group for this <strong>GR</strong> will review application changes to<br />

ascertain the necessary electrical performance (attenuation, frequencies, etc.) to match<br />

the service demands for the current and future-planned networks, including DAS and<br />

Ethernet systems.<br />

A more detailed, section-by-section plan for the revisions to these coaxial cable documents is<br />

available on request (SR-6004, Issue 2).<br />

The Value of Participation<br />

As a participating company in the development of this proposed new <strong>GR</strong>, you will have the<br />

opportunity to influence its content in the following specific ways:<br />

Determine the technical scope of the new document<br />

Decide how to best consolidate and update technical content from the <strong>GR</strong>s that will be<br />

replaced by the new <strong>GR</strong>, and incorporate that content into the new <strong>GR</strong><br />

Raise, discuss, and define coaxial cable product-related issues via face-to-face and/or<br />

conference call meetings with your industry peers<br />
