The procedure complies with the ISO/IEC 14763-3 standard. The ISO/IEC 14763 standard specifies the implementation and operation of customer premises cabling. The part 3 of this ISO document (14763-3) details test procedures for optical fibre cabling designed in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801 and installed according to the recommendations of ISO/IEC 14763-2 (Planning and installation of customer premises cabling). The optical link test configuration as defined further in this document shall be used to verify the performance of permanently installed OF cabling. All 100 % of the installed OF links hav
