I'm interested in DEC's official and local practices concerning who
lays the fibre.
Could people please enter information concerning the following
* Do we have any system of appoving installers of cable,
* Do we have approved acceptance procedures
* Who maintains (eg tests, changes etc) the cable
* What recommendations do we make re cable provision (eg backbone only,
how many cables, etc)
* What are acceptable points of demarcation (eg fibre only, fibre +
Third party concentrators, etc)
* Are these local office, country or corporate decisions?
* Do we treat cable as one issue (eg DECsite) and FDDI as something
completely seperate (eg EIS)
* anything else relating to cable provision issues
Many thanks in advance
Peter

Contact your local NWSS sales support. NWSS has been providing
cable services for several years, including fiber, and will continue
to provide this.

Peter:
.1 is absolutely correct. We at NWSS will design, supply materials
for, install, and maintain the FDDI cableplant. We will also supply
non-DEC products if needed - for example if a customer needs an FDDI
to Token Ring bridge and wants a single vendor solution.
