This paper contains a discussion of Bellcore's proposed channel availability requirement for fiber optic transport systems used in distribution feeder applications. A representative model of the distribution network is first constructed which includes a high capacity fiber optic system running to a distribution hub. An overall availability requirement, consistent with present availability requirements, is applied to this model. The allocation to the fiber system is determined by truncation of the current interoffice channel availability requirement which is prorated with distance. Further allocation of downtime to the electronic hardware reliability failures yields an objective that can be directly compared with the results of electronic hardware reliability models. This requirement is now included in Bellcore's proposed "Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Fiber Optic Transport Systems."
