    I have a customer who has installed the following single-mode fiber. I
    have read the specs provided by another note, but I would like opinions
    on the characteristics of this fiber.
    
    
    Mode-Field Diameter		 	 10 (+/-) 1 microns
    Cladding Diameter			125 (+/-) 2 microns
    Core/Clad Concentricity Error	less than/equal to 1.0 microns
    Coating Diameter			250 (+/-) 15 microns
    Cut-Off Wavelength			1130 - 1270 nm
    Attentuation @1300 nm		less than/equal .50 dB/km
    Attentuation @1550 nm		less than/equal .40 dB/km
    Zero-Dispersion Wavelength		1301.5 < lamba 0 < 1321.5 nm
    Maximum Zero-Dispersion 
    			Slope (Szero)	.093 ps/nm (squared).km
    Refractive Index Difference		.30 (+/-).04 %

|     Since no one has replied to this, who would be good person to send
    these specs to verify they meet FDDI specs?
