Abstract: | This paper describes an optical fiber system developed at the British Post Office (BPO) Research Centre, Martlesham Heath, which provides telephone circuits in an 8 Mbit/s junction between the Centre and Ipswich Telephone Exchange via 13 km of BICC cable incorporating Corning fibers. In parallel, a 140 Mbit/s system operating over 8 km of cable has been demonstrated. The systems were constructed in accordance with standard BPO equipment practice and the cables were installed by local area staff in existing ducts. |
