Although Boeing clearly doesn't make telecommunications equipment, we do use this standard as reference material and would like to participate (or perhaps "audit" this discussion if possible.) Thanks for the offer. James F.

TR-NWT-000078 details the minimum generic physical design requirements that are, on Bellcore's view, applicable for products and used in the network of a typical Bellcore Client Company. These requirements are applicable to materials, finishes, connectors, wire and cable, printed wiring boards and assemblies, equipment sub-assemblies and equipment assembly. Bellcore invites all suppliers within the telecommunications equipment manufacturing community and other industry members to participate in this early industry interaction by providing nonproprietary technical input related to the revision of the current document. It should be noted that Bellcore does not make procurement decisions for any BCC. Bellcore activities that involve industry interactions in no way indicate a potential purchase or selection decision by any BCC. If you are interested in participating in the revision of TR-NWT-000078 please respond by May 15, 1996. Bob Hall Bellcore (908) 758-2843 (908) 741-2891 (FAX) [log in to unmask] (E-mail)
