Abstract
The installation of any fiber optic cabling scheme is not complete until it is tested, commissioned, documented, and handed over to the user. Moreover the cabling is proved to be capable of providing the desired services at the desired locations (or nodes). These issues have little to do with the technical capabilities of the optical medium and are basically contractual in nature. It is also observed that the vast majority of problems encountered during the installation also tend to be contractual rather than technical. Thus, the chapter illustrates specification technique that tends to hold the technical and the contractual issues together. The production of a comprehensive specification is vital to ensure the smooth running of any optical fiber cabling installation. The greatest benefit of specification is that it maximizes the chances of a user to actually obtain the product for which the money is paid. Once a specification is defined, and agreed, the optical fiber issues can then be regarded as resolved. Furthermore, the chapter briefly discusses the operational requirement, network configuration, and optical specification.
