Maintenance request 1080 This change should be updated to reflect the recently approved ISO/IEC 11801:2002. In addition the specification for Chromatic Dispersion should be removed from the 10BASE-F (Clause 15) as this is not a parameter normally specified for Multimode fibre and the update to Annex B.5 related to 10BASE-FP should be removed as we are no longer performing maintenance on the 'deprecated' PHYs (see Change request 1098). 1. Add the text 'ISO/IEC11801:2002 provides a specification for media that exceeds the minimum requirements of this standard.' to the note at the end of 14.4.1, and as a note to 25.4.6.1. Add the text 'These requirements are met by a Class D channel as specified in ISO/IEC 11801:2002.' to the end of subclause 40.1. 3. Delete Clause 13 Chromatic Dispersion specification. Action: Contact Steve Swanson to confirm it is correct to remove the chromatic dispersion specification from 10BASE-F. 4. Remove 10BASE-FP related change text.
