Outside Plant Standards John Osmon 06-23-2007

I've been asked to look over some plans for a housing tract. I've
worked with inside wiring for 15+ years and have had to deal with
a lot of outside plant techs -- so I know how things are put
together, etc.

However, I've now realized that while I know the mechanics -- I
don't really know about the standards to which things are built.
Does anyone have any suggestions for which standards I should
look over to gain some familiarity with this field?

I know what good plant looks like, and I certainly don't expect
to become an expert in short order -- but I would like to have
more insight. So far, it seems like the EIA/TIA standards
cover a great deal of ground, and encompass/reference a number of
other publications. In particular, I found:
EIA/TIA 607 Grounding and Bonding of Communication Systems
EIA/TIA 758 Customer Owned Outside Plant Cabling

Are there any other standards I should be looking at?

I'd suggest perusing the Telcordia publications-
