2.1 Fiber Optic Cable (All-Dielectric). Outside plant optical fiber cable shall meet OS2 standards and be all-dielectric, loose buffer tube, single mode, water blocked, suitable for underground applications and shall be standards compliant with RDUP PE-90 Designation MLT. The Contractor shall provide optical fiber cables suitable for specific environments and applications. All optical fiber cable used indoors shall be nonconductive and listed for the environment in which it is placed. All optical fiber cables shall comply with industry standards with regard to manufacturers’ cable markings, jacket, rip cords, filling compound/water blocking, fiber color coding, jacketing materials, etc. In addition, the fibers shall comply with industry standards with regard to mode field diameter, core-cladding concentricity, attenuation, and dispersion characteristics at 1310 nm and 1550 nm.

The Contractor shall provide an installation test report of the results of the testing accomplished under the installation test plan (CDRL A006).

6.1. New Optical Fiber Cable.

6.1.1. Pre-Installation Tests. The Contractor shall do a one-directional test, with an OTDR, of all fibers of new optical fiber optic for discontinuities, attenuation and length of cable on the reel. It is expected that the cable(s) will be delivered defect-free from the manufacturer. 52 CS shall be allowed to review the test reports prior to the installation of any new optical fiber cable.

6.1.2. Post Installation. Tests shall be accomplished to ensure the installed cable is within industry standard and accepted by 52 CS. The Contractor shall test all fibers of all new optical fiber cables for discontinuities, attenuation and length of cable after termination. All fibers shall be defect free. Optical attenuation tests shall be accomplished at both 1310nm and 1550nm to ensure the installed cable is within industry accepted parameters for the cable type and length being tested. The bi-directional optical power meter and light source method or equivalent test shall be used to perform this test. The Contractor shall calculate the estimated power budget using industry-accepted parameters for the cable type, length and components (connectors, etc.) being tested. The fiber shall be tested, using an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR), to determine the installed cable length between FODP’s. The pass/fail criterion is met when the OTDR results show no anomalies, unexpected reflections or losses and the fiber attenuation is less than the maximum allowable attenuation value as calculated. Contractor is required to locate and clear anomalies or defects if caused by the installation.

6.1.3. Pressure Testing. Splice cases that have been installed by the Contractor in all manhole/handhole applications shall be pressure tested in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. If a splice case leaks, it shall be reinstalled and retested.

6.1.4. Duct Sealing. After installing cable in a conventional innerducts entering a manhole, cable vault, or building, seal the duct, and around cable in the innerducts, with a duct plug, removable putty sealant (duxseal).

7.0. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY AND SERVICES (GFP/GFE/GFS).
