ANSI/TIA-568.3-E: Optical Fiber Cabling and Components Standard

Scope: This Standard specifies performance, transmission, and test and measurement requirements for premises optical fiber cable, connectors, connecting hardware, and patch cords.

Standard for Installing and Testing Fiber Optics

Although most fiber optic cables are not conductive, any metallic hardware used in fiber optic cabling systems (such as wall-mounted termination boxes, racks, and patch panels) must be grounded.
