IEEE 802.8 was related to the Fiber Optic Technical Advisory Group. However, it’s essential to note that IEEE 802.8 was not one of the more widely recognized or adopted standards within the IEEE 802 series. The 802 series is primarily known for local and metropolitan area network standards, such as IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi).
The Fiber Optic Technical Advisory Group’s role was to advise on issues related to fiber optic communications. IEEE 802.8 has been disbanded, and there’s no specific “standard” associated with that number like there is for some of the more recognized numbers in the series.
For the most current and specific details on any IEEE standard or working group, it’s always best to refer to the official IEEE website or other authoritative sources in the field.
