The Fiber Optics Illustrated Dictionary - Part 93 fills a gap in the literature by providing instructors, hobbyists, and top-level engineers with an accessible, current reference. From the author of the best-selling Telecommunications Illustrated Dictionary, this comprehensive reference includes fundamental physics, basic technical information for fiber splicing, installation, maintenance, and repair, and follow-up information for communications and other professionals using fiber optic components. Well-balanced, well-researched, and extensively cross-referenced, it also includes hundreds of photographs, charts, and diagrams that clarify the more complex ideas and put simpler ideas into their applications context | Fiber Optics Illustrated Dictionary and suppliers of communications products for matters of public policy and international commerce. TIA is accredited by the American National Standards Institute ANSI to develop standards for a variety of communication products. See TIA Fiber Optic Communication Standards chart http Telecommunications Information Network Architecture TINA. A common architecture for building and managing communications services developed by the Telecommunications Information Network Architecture Consortium in the early 1990s. This architecture logically separates the physical infrastructure and the applications from the need to communicate directly with each another. Control and management functions are integrated and can be placed on the network independent of geography through a single Distributed Processing Environment DPE . See Telecommunications Information Network Architecture Consortium. Telecommunications Information Network Architecture Consortium TINA-C. An international association of over 40 telecommunications operators and manufacturers who first came together at a TINA Workshop in 1990 and formed the consortium to cooperatively define a common architecture TINA to be promoted as a global standard for building and managing telecommunications services. This work draws heavily on the work of other organizations and standards bodies in order to take advantage of ongoing studies and developments to expedite the progress of the TINA project and to promote the harmonious cooperation of various groups with similar goals http . telecommunications lines Physical lines usually metal wire or fiber optic cable over which communications are transmitted usually by electrical impulses or light.
