The Contractor understands that written approval of the technicians submitted for review by the Engineer is required prior to beginning any work on the fiber optic coble plant.

It is further understood that the Contractor will address any deficiencies noted by the Engineer prior to beginning any work on the fiber optic coble plant.

1300.03 FIBER OPTIC CABLE MANUFACTURER

1300.03.1 Minimum Requirements

It is understood by the Contractor that no coble shall be purchased for use on this project prior to receiving written approval of submittols for fiber optic coble by the Engineer, as established in Section 1300.05.

All fiber optic coble(s) supplied and utilized on this project shall be from o single manufacturer.

Monufocturers proposing to supply fiber optic coble for this project shall be Certified IS0-9001, and TL 9000 Certified.

As o prerequisite to acceptance of fiber optic coble proposed for this project, said coble monufocturer shall demonstrate that, for o continuous period of two

(2) years, they hove engaged in the production of each, every and all specified fiber optic coble(s) herein. Further, said manufacturer shall warrant that all cables supplied for this project will be produced utilizing the construction processes noted herein.

1300.03 FIBER OPTIC CABLE MANUFACTURER - CONTINUED

1300.03.2 Submittols for Fiber Optic Coble Manufacturers

The Contractor shall provide submittal documentation for the fiber optic coble manufacturer that documents, as o minimum, the following information:

(1) Manufacturer IS0-9001, and TL 9000 Certification.

(2) "Proof of Compliance" with Bellcore GR-20-CORE, Issue No. 1 TL 9000.

(3) Documentation for each coble indicating that the coble is listed by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), 7CFR 1755.900 or PE-90 if coble is in transition to RUS.

{4} Monufocturing Site Testing Procedures. The Engineer reserves the right to require verification of any or all of the manufacturer's test procedures and those test results. When required by the Engineer, the coble manufacturer issuing the test data as verification of testing shall conduct this testing, and/or the testing shall be performed in the presence of the Engineer or his Agent.

1300.04 OPTICAL FIBER MATERIALS

1300.04.1 General Requirements

Each optical fiber shall be gloss and consist of o doped silica core surrounded by concentric silica clodding. All fibers shall be sufficiently free of surface imperfections and inclusions to meet the optical, mechanical and environmental requirements of these specifications.

The optical fiber utilized in the manufacture of all fiber optic coble for this project shall be produced by OFS Technologies or Corning. The optical fiber characteristics shall be in accordance with Section 1300.04.

1300.04.2 Technical Requirements

Only dispersion unshifted Single Mode (SM) fiber as specifed by EIA 492-BAOOO, Closs 4o shall be utilized in the monufocture of all coble for this project.

All fibers shall be coated with o dual layered, UV cured ocrylite. The coating shall be mechanically or chemically strippoble without damaging the fiber.

All optical fibers shall hove o tensile strength of 100 kpsi.

The required optical fiber grade shall reflect the maximum individual fiber attenuation, to guarantee the required performance of every fiber in the coble.

The optical fiber shall comply with all optical and mechanical requirements over on operating temperature range of -40"C to + 70'C.

The coble shall meet all requirements stated in this specification. The coble shall be on accepted product of the United States Deportment of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (RUS) 7 CFR 1755.900 (PE-90) and meet the requirements of ANSI/ICEA Standard for Fiber Optic Outside Plant Communications Coble, ANSI/ICEA S-87-640-2006.
