Optical connection tails, generally confirming to the requirements above for termination cables, shall be provided to connect each item of optical terminal equipment to the optical fibre link connectors in its respective FDP.

Optical patch cords shall be provided to enable the patching of any item of optical terminal equipment to any fibre in any link terminated at the building in which the equipment is housed. This shall include cords for use within FDPs and cords permanently installed between FDPs to enable the through connection of any fibre terminating in one FDP to any other FDP in the same building. FDPs may be stand - alone cabinets, be provided as an integral part of terminal

equipment, or designed to incorporate the fibre splice boxes. In the latter case, physical segregation shall be provided between the splice box and distribution panel sections.

13.0 PIGTAIL CORDS.
